Pivot Table Filtering

Is it possible to have a Pivot Table that you can filter the results by having a search box?

I currently have a list of tasks with resource names assigned to them, and some tasks have more than one resource name. Currently my pivot table lists the resources as they appear on my table..

Eg..

Task 1 - Ben
Task 2 - Ben, Jan
Task 3 - Jan
Task 4 - Ben, Hannah, Joe

So the pivot table lists the Resource names "Ben, Hannah, Joe" when what I would like is for all of Ben's tasks to appear in one filtered result.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
The default upper left cell of a pivot table is cell A3. Apply an autofilter to cell A2 -- which adds pivot table drop-down boxes to each of the pivot table column headers. Then use the Custom function "Contains" in the autofilter to filter on 'Ben' and only show his tasks.
