Search Function

Can I setup the search feature to search all accounts at once instead of just the active account?

This is easy. Just select the All Transactions group register in the sidebar and then do the search. All accounts will be searched, including hidden accounts.

You can also take advantage of this with other group registers. For example, say you know you paid for something with a credit card, but you don't remember which one. Just select the Credit Cards group register and do a search.

One additional thing to note: if you select All Transactions, it will also search in hidden accounts. I've changed credit cards a lot over time, so depending what I'm searching for, clicking on the Credit Card subgroup will only search in the active accounts, while All Transactions will search active and hidden accounts -- which is far easier than unhiding accounts to do a search and then re-hiding them.
