Currently, the only way to search for transactions that are hidden (i.e. contained within the register for a hidden account), is to either "unhide" all the accounts or create a custom report that includes hidden accounts/transactions. In both cases it is cumbersome, particularly temporarily unhiding accounts, especially in a legacy data file that could have dozens of hidden/inactive accounts (as is the my case). In fact, currently the Transactions view is the only means available to select transactions for bulk changes such as re-categorization or tagging. When re-categorizing, you must be able to re-categorize the hidden transactions in order to delete the original category and the current UI does not directly support that use case.
The idea is to provide a new Transaction search filter option as a convenience to include hidden transactions. Here is a simple mock-up to convey the idea.
Editing / consolidating 20 yrs of changing Categories using Transaction Register and Get Info. Pretty good, but have to show / hide 10s of Hidden Accounts. Please add option to Transaction Register to search / show transactions in Hidden Accounts. Thanks.

Add option to Hide/Unhide Accounts all at once.

In QM2007, a hidden account does not show up in the Accounts list (similar to the Sidebar), nor does it show up in the Main Menu of accounts BUT are always available to be included in reports, searches, etc. I find this implementation works perfectly fine for most (if not all) scenarios.
Of course, there are use cases to exclude them in multiple scenarios. And I think at the end of the day, we are simply looking for an easy way to control this without interfering with common tasks like searches, reports, etc.
So hoping that whatever the implementation, it uses as few clicks/steps as possible for each scenario.

Would like to suggest adding another column on the "Hide and Show Accounts" screen called 'Include in Searches' next to the List and Report columns or include accounts that have not been hidden from Reports.
Thanks.
Here's the better news: this has already been requested in this Idea thread that dates back nearly three years ago.
Here's the best news: If you look at the blue voting box after the first post in that link, you'll see the status is marked "Planned." This is one of the rare instances on this site in which the developers have definitively indicated that a requested feature is on the drawing board for implementaton. Yay! The only bad news: we have no idea when this feature will be delivered. But at least the developers agree this is a needed feature, and have it planned for some future release.
That said, this idea has been marked as "Planned" by the developers, so voting is not necessary. (But it was marked planned more than a year ago, so you can see that being "Planned" does not confer short-term victory.)
I'm happy to include a screenshot to illustrate if that functionality exists in these forums.
