The help manual Chapter 8 section 8.1 fails to point out that the find assistant [Split Search] Type of Search defaults to New search when started from the main accounts hierarchy page, but it defaults to Refine current search when started from a normal Account Register window or from the General Ledger window. Further, the results are presented in a new window when started from the main accounts hierarchy page or from a normal Account Register window, but the results are presented in the *same window when started from the General Ledger window*. This is probably designed to respect the View >Filter By option in the Account register view and in the General Ledger view.
The Delete results from current search type is apparently intended to delete transactions that match the newly chosen criteria from the current search result rather than to undo the last search refinement or modification. Finally, John Ralls' answer to my original question was interesting. In the General Ledger window, at least, it is possible to return to the un-searched view by changing Search Criteria " ... contains to matches regex and enter .* for the regex. And check "add results to current search" in the search type radio box." I hope that we can get all of that into the help manual.
