When I select dashboard as my search in Dashboard layout the unique values is not working. My dropdown box on search is not showing unique values it is showing all values. Just wanted to know if I was the only one having this problem.

That is a very inadequate description to expect help on.
Provide an example of what you are getting and what you expected to get.
You do know that "unique" means it should only show one set of each value that is different from all the others.
A list of names that shows up unfiltered : 'Frank, Joe, Sarah, Martin, Tony' will show the same list of names too in a dropdown when filtered as Unique.
If the list had 'Frank, Joe, Sarah, Frank, Tony, Sarah, Martin, Frank' and was set for the Unique filter then you would not see the 3 Franks...just 1 Frank, just 1 Sarah, not 2 Sarahs.
So the "unique" Setting would show in that case: 'Frank, Joe, Sarah, Tony, Martin'

Yes, That is how it is supposed to work. I have a drop down box based on a table field set to unique values in visual editor. This all works good on list page advanced search. When in the Dashboard layout if I use the same table as grid for search it all works good. The problem is happening when I choose the element to add as dashboard search or name of dashboard search in dashboard layout. I want to limit the fields on dashboard search but have all fields on list page advanced search. The dashboard search page setting only work when I select the dashboard name as search in dashboard layout.
