So, previously it would correctly guess in one or two characters.

One of the problems (or perhaps the ACTUAL problem) is the embedded search. To new users that might be considered helpful for a when you "don't remember what you called it' - but for experienced users (perhaps decades) who rely on the program, it's a major PITA! Perhaps an option in the View menu to disable it/choose?

Thank you for your response(s). I totally am totally appreciative.

I also disagree; I have only used 5.0 for a few entries; it will get a good
workout tomorrow, but I can see it saving typing. Currently, it's a bit of
a surprise to see the list pop up, but I imagine I'll get used to it. I
don't know what happens if there are, say, 20 different older entries; it
would be nice if it only showed a limited number of recent matches for when
there are a lot of possibilities -- even nicer if this were
user-customizable.

I found the old way of matching the last entry a bit annoying at times.

Since this update, creating a entry in the register now pops-up a
'similar entries' selection search result box, rather than just filling
in the payee as it used to. It's SO frustrating, and a lot more work now!

Please revert back this new "feature".

Thank you.
