Probably you already know this, but ...

Gnucash will only find transactions that are in the window that is on
top when you initiate the Find.

Therefore, if you want to make sure of getting all matching transactions
in all accounts rather than just one, you need to start your Find while
the Accounts window (lost of accounts) is on top.
