so I did a search for a quotation mark. I then wanted to select
them all & delete them, but I couldn't. It turns out, as best I
can tell, that you can't actually do anything with the transactions
you find other than print the list! Please let us manipulate the
data we find!</p></div>Gandalf99tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/2810082009-07-30T20:41:04Z2009-07-30T20:41:04ZSelect and act on multiple items in the Find window<div><p>Hi Gandalf</p>
<p>You are correct the built in Find function is rather limited.
Fortunately there exists a free 3rd party find and replace
extension that is quite comprehensive. To download and install it
go here:</p>

<p>We liked the extension so much that we recently hired the
developer to be part of the Moneydance team.</p>
<p>However I believe even with find and replace it is not possible
to delete transactions with this extension.</p>
<p>Sincerely</p>

<p>Thanks for the tip. This looks like an excellent extension. Why
doesn't this extension appear when I click extensions/add/from the
internet? Are there others that aren't in that list? Is there a
list of them anywhere?</p></div>Gandalf99tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/2810082009-07-31T00:37:29Z2009-07-31T00:38:50ZSelect and act on multiple items in the Find window<div><p>Hi Gandalf,</p>
