I like the new method. But from the comments so far, I think there may
be a couple option for an enhancement request.
1. Have a preference setting for account matching on transaction entry
where the user could set:
A. Contains; or,
B. Leads with
[C. Some may want Trails with]
[[D. Perhaps a Match Case option]]
2. Another preference box for how many days back the user wants to
match. Blank entry would be ALL. Zero would turn the matching off and
XX days could be set to any number between 1 and some arbitrarily large
number. But I think the useful ones would be 30, 60, 90, 180, 360, ALL

The problem with the solution that Adrien suggests is that there is a real
possibility that the existing descriptions may be correct for existing
transactions but inappropriate for new transactions. I think there is no
solution as long as the current method is used to populate the list, so we
must live with it.

This list is populated from the descriptions used in every transaction -
in that register.
If there are some entries that are errant (such as misspellings) or
variant for the same entity (like a Payee, store name, etc.) the only
way to correct these is to change those descriptions you don't want to
those you do.
The easiest way to do this would be to do a Find for the description you
want to change, which will give you a list of transactions using it.
Then, as you correct them one-by-one, they'll disappear from the search
results and when the results register is empty, it will no longer appear
in the drop down list in account registers which are affected by those
transactions.

When I type in the description of a transaction, a pop-up menu of
previous entries appears. Is there a way to edit this menu? Sometimes it
feels more cumbersome than helpful.
