Hi, This is not a bug. The "Find" function, when started from an open register, will always filter on the register contents. So if you have the register limited to 90 days, the Find will only search there.
If you want to start from a "scratch" find then you need to go to the Chart of Accounts page. The Find function is completely unrelated to autocompletion. -derek On Thu, February 16, 2023 12:21 pm, Gyle McCollam wrote: > When entering a new transaction in an account the auto complete works even > if the transaction is older than the limit set in "View/Filter by", which > is great and how I think it should work.
