Re: Weird "FIND" behavior - anyone else see this?

My guess is that the presence of the digit triggers a separate search for an 
amount in addition to the text search.  But that's just a guess. I can't see 
anything in the documentation that clarifies this. Bottom line is probably 
to refrain from mixing alpha and digits in a single search while reporting 
this to Quicken.

Boy, this is strange.  I'm in my primary banking register.

In the FIND dialog box on the upper right, I enter "gifts" and I see
about 40 transactions containing that string returned....so far, so good.

But if I enter "gif3ts" (with that "3" digit in the middle), I get
*thousands* of transactions returned, and I assure you, NONE of them
have that string in any field. WTF??

I'm on Q 27.1.50.14 on Win 11. I've also verified this behavior also
occurs on multiple QDF files and I've VALIDATED at least one of them to
see if this fixes it.

I don't THINK a digit in the middle should be any sort of deliniator?

I did a cursory scan on the Q community to see if anyone else has
reported this.

Anyone else see this issue?
