If the Memo field is your only criteria, then just use the Transaction
Report and use the Filter tab for your Memo text.
Note, you'll need to decide which account you are summing on the report
though. (likely the same issue with the Account Report) In the case of
multiple expense accounts for one or more transactions, you'd want to
sum and sort off the source account for the funds, usually an asset, but
could be a credit card or other liability. Be warned though, that will
be the sum of the entirety of those transactions, not just the
individual splits you want to highlight. So if there are other
non-interesting splits in those transactions that balance the source
funds, they'll get included as well.

I'd like the sum of the values from entries with certain criteria in
the "Memo" field in an expense account. I can get the list of
transactions containing these entries by searching the Memo field.
Then, everything I found says I can open a Report > Account Report to
get the running balance/total, however that column always remains $0.00
for me.
I wonder if this has to due with the double-entry bookkeeping I'm
using? The display is also complicated by the fact that these
transactions can include 3 or 4 different expenses which means instead
of just 2 lines for funds in/funds out, there could be 8 lines for funds
in/out of 4 different accounts, all of which are shown in the Account
Report, yet I'm only interested in the values from the one account I
performed the initial search from.
