Specifically, it is a SPLIT searach where the initial criteria is "split->account == register_account". When you do a FIND from within a register, you are, by definition, limiting your search to the *account splits*. Transfer accounts are, by definition, in *other* splits, not the account splits. The reason is that you get a search query that looks like: Find splits where Split->account == register_account AND ( ... your stuff ... ) So, in short, you can't do what you want from within a register because of the way sub-searches are implemented. The only way to do this search is to start from the CoA and search for transactions' split-accounts that match both A and B.

Re: [GNC] Find or search all expenses in a certain account
That was the right criteria. I’m not sure why it isn’t working for you. Maybe I missed something, but you noted earlier that you have 10 transactions that are transfers and are fixed properly. You want to delete everything else in AccountA. Doing a search for ‘everything else’ seems to be overkill. (especially at this point) Can’t you just do one of the following: 1. Delete every transaction starting from the top, but mindful to skip the 10 transfers. 2. Delete AccountA entirely, re-create it and re-create the 10 transfer transactions. If there are transactions in AccountA other than the transfers you don’t want to delete, then skip them too. If there are too many and there are only *some* expense transactions you want to delete, then do those one-by-one. I think this is a case where you probably could have trudged through it and been finished by now. (Though the challenge is always fun) Another approach is to open the expense registers you want to deal with, do a search for “All Accounts” that match AccountA - delete those transactions, proceed to the next expense account.

Re: [GNC] Find or search all expenses in a certain account
Gio, as per the other thread, and John’s advice here, you’re still missing a setting change for criteria search. Looking at the chart in your GoogleDoc, the only combo that is relevant is the last pair. 1. Conduct the Find from the Account Register in question. (so far referred to as AccountA, or test_find in your Doc) 2. Use an All Accounts criteria 3. The only middle option here is to ‘match all accounts’ you can’t choose anything else. 4. Select either a single target expense account, or multiples. (try with just one first) **5. In the upper right hand corner, above the criteria, you need to change the setting labeled “Search for items where” to “any criteria are met” (the default is ‘all criteria are met’) Do not include AccountA/test_find in your account selection, you are already doing a Find from within that register. You should get proper results. I’ve tried this sequence several times with different accounts and for each one I’m getting the expected results and I’ve verified them looking over the register in question.

Re: [GNC] Find or search all expenses in a certain account
Gio, No surprise, that's not exactly lucid. I just tried again with a more realistic test book. The problem is that "matches all accounts" means what it says: if you give it ten accounts then any transaction must have splits in all 10 of them to match. Experimenting around a bit more, I find that if you start from the Accounts page and use Accounts - Matches Any Account - Foo + Bar (where Foo and Bar are accounts selected in the account list box) you get all of the transactions with a split touching either Foo or Bar. If you use All Accounts - Matches Any Account - Foo + Bar you get transactions with at least one split in each of Foo and Bar. If you start from a register tab then the Accounts - Matches Any Account - XXX will return no transactions unless XXX is the account whose register you have focussed. Using All Accounts with a single account selected will return the transactions from that register with a split touching that one account. So the way to get what you want is to change the selector in the upper right from "all criteria are met" to "any criteria are met" and then enter a line All Accounts - Matches Any Account - XXX for each expense account that you want to include in the result.

Re: [GNC] Find or search all expenses in a certain account
Hi John, I also actually tried that Find > All Accounts > Choose Accounts = Expenses:(all children) and it's still blank. To be honest, I find this text in the documentation really hard to understand: "The Account option performs a search where the accounts selected in the Choose Accounts dialog will both be searched individually for results. This means that a match in any of the selected accounts will either be displayed (matches any account) or discarded (matches no account). The All Accounts option performs a search where accounts selected in the Choose Accounts dialog will only return results that match in both accounts."
