Requirement:
Implement ‘exact match’ filter against the list view web part on text values and drop down values using AJAX for great user performance. An alternative to filtering in a fly out menu of the list view web part’s column values.
Filter by ‘Title’

Filter by ‘Task Status’

Technique:

I am essentially emulating the column based filters that are out-of-the-box functionality of the SharePoint 2013 List view web parts. I do this by tracking down how the filtering is executed in the SharePoint inplview.js code. Then wrap the filtering JavaScript logic through custom text boxes.

You can see the URL query string parameters reflect the filtering
/SitePages/Tickets.aspx#InplviewHashdba27ef6-7bff-4c0f-8ec1-b3e3e18fb0b8=FilterField1=LinkTitle-FilterValue1=Printer broken

For large lists (i.e. > 5,000 items), keep in mind to index the columns you want to filter by. You can find the setting in the List Settings page and find a link ‘Indexed Columns’
