<p>It might be helpful if we knew what OS and what version including build number you are using? Perhaps a very old version behaved differently.</p>

I do not see it has a mechanism for that.

I tested this behavior and it only found exact matches to the string. Perhaps you are matching part of another string in a memo, tag, or category string. It does search all parts of the transaction.</p>
<p>My usage and checking showed no flaws in the search function.</p></div>sthtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489895402021-01-25T18:03:18Z2021-01-25T18:03:18ZIssues with search<div><p>Here's a screen shot.

Hi dbronstein88</p>
<p>Have you thought of renaming the category U of A to UNIVERSITY OF ARIZ so search has more to work with?</p>
<p>TOOLS – CATEGORIES- highlight U of A – EDIT and edit Category Name U of A to UNIVERSITY OF ARIZ – DONE.</p>
<p>Hope this helps</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489895402021-01-25T19:04:24Z2021-01-25T19:04:24ZIssues with search<div><p>And the memo field? That is also searched. I don't know if it also searches the original downloaded transaction data as well.</p></div>sthtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489895402021-01-25T20:11:26Z2021-01-25T20:11:26ZIssues with search<div><p>There is nothing in the memo fields that match. It's a flaw with search function.</p>
<p>@derekkent23, I actually changed the category to UofA without the spaces already. I just changed it back for demonstration purposes. Interestingly, searching for U of A returns the UofA transactions even though there is not a direct match of the string.</p>
<p>Playing with it some more, it looks like it's doing an AND search rather than an OR search. As I enter single letters separated by spaces in the search bar, it returns fewer and fewer matches, and the ones that are returned have all the letters in them somewhere.</p></div>dbronstein88tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489895402021-01-25T20:52:33Z2021-01-25T20:52:33ZIssues with search<div><p>Out of interest, have you tried the Edit/Advanced Search function?</p></div>Stuart Beesley (Mr Toolbox)tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489895402021-01-25T21:24:22Z2021-01-25T21:24:22ZIssues with search<div><p>I just tested, it's definitely splitting the search up with the spaces into separate search tokens and then doing an and on each token....</p></div>Stuart Beesley (Mr Toolbox)tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489895402021-01-25T21:29:14Z2021-01-25T21:29:14ZIssues with search<div><p>I also just tested Advanced Search and a search for U of A returns just exact matches - no splitting of the test by spaces....</p></div>Stuart Beesley (Mr Toolbox)
