Quicken Find has lost some of its functionality

in Registers & Transactions (Windows)
I used to be able to right click on a transaction field, select find all, and the find window would fill the field and contents boxes automatically. This made the search a three click process. Now, the search box is empty requiring extra time to do the same thing. How is this an improvement over the way it used to work? I called Quicken support but the tech couldn't explain why the find function workes as it does. She said it must be the result of a recent update. Shouldn't updates make the software easier to use?

    This seems to be a side-effect of the recent change from finding "currently selected field" to finding "any field".
    I agree this is lost functionality and it would be nice to have it back without (yet again) altering the behavior of CTRL-F.

    Quicken just updated today and I noticed the same problem. "Find" is much less convenient to use now.

    Just noticed the same behavior today, after a patch update. Going backwards, not forwards. Please return the functionality that existed before.

    One step forward. Two steps back. Please fix this!

    As an alternative, have you tried the register's Search box or the "Global Search" box instead of CTRL-F Find?
