Re: [GNC] Problem with "Find"

I have not carefully sorted the request out, but it seems as though the request is for search to behave in a different manner than documented in the manual:

"When you open the Find Transactions dialog from an account register tab only the splits associated with that register will be searched. There is one exception, the All Accounts item, see the footnote about it in table Table 8.1, “Search criteria buttons - Split Search” below. For the transactions fields only transactions linked to a split in that register are inspecected and for the rest only the split attached to that account is, with one exception, All Accounts. If you filter the transactions in a register using View → Filter By... , then only transactions in that account and shown by the filter will be searched. If you start from the Accounts page or a General Journal register then all splits in all applicable transactions (in the latter case those included in the register) are inspected."
