Re: [GNC] Change the default "Find" from "Description" to "Value"?
I agree that everyones' favorite search terms will be differrnt. However if there is a table of the terms previously used that might go a long way, especially if the terms used for the current search were displayed with the results so we could see where those search results are coming from. I think there is already a bug report about that. On Wed, Nov 15, 2023, 3:47 PM Derek Atkins wrote: > I think if you ask 100 people what their default "search" is, you'll get > 120 different answers.

Yes, the last search sounds sensible, as it does not need any extra widgets to make a selection.

Re: [GNC] Change the default "Find" from "Description" to "Value"?
I think if you ask 100 people what their default "search" is, you'll get 120 different answers. I don't think any solution is going to work for everyone. IMHO, the most reasonable solution would be remembering the last used search criteria and default to that next time. -derek On Wed, November 15, 2023 4:03 pm, Adrien Monteleone wrote: > Probably 99.23% of my searches, 96.81% of the time, are the same. > > Regards, > Adrien > > On 11/15/23 2:57 PM, David H wrote: >> Good suggestion, I'd like that as well, every time I do a Find I always >> change it to "Description, Notes or Memo" to cover all the bases :-) > > ___ > gnucash-user mailing list > gnucash-user@gnucash.org > To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: > https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user > - > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. > -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Probably 99.23% of my searches, 96.81% of the time, are the same.

Re: [GNC] Change the default "Find" from "Description" to "Value"?
Stan, Good suggestion, I'd like that as well, every time I do a Find I always change it to "Description, Notes or Memo" to cover all the bases :-) Cheers David H.

Re: [GNC] Change the default "Find" from "Description" to "Value"?
I think there is one already for saving search patterns. That might be more versatile than changing the default. (and allow the default to remain as-is) Regards, Adrien On 11/15/23 9:25 AM, Stan Brown (using GC 4.14) wrote: I've wondered about this too, with one change of detail: I'd like to change the default for Find to "Description, Notes, or Memo".

I've wondered about this too, with one change of detail: I'd like to change the default for Find to "Description, Notes, or Memo". Is there any way, or is one under development?

[GNC] Change the default "Find" from "Description" to "Value"?
If I want to find something, Edit -> Find will find it, but 99% of the time I want to search by a value, not by description. Is it possible to change the default, so I don't have to keep selecting "Value" each time? -- Dr David Kirkby Ph.D Kirkby Microwave Ltd Email: drkir...@kirkbymicrowave.co.uk Web: https://www.kirkbymicrowave.co.uk/ Telephone 07910 441670 (UK) or +44 7910 441670 (international) Registered in England and Wales, company number 08914892.
