I have used QuickBooks desktop for many years. I am now trying to use Quicken for Mac.

I would like to save the data from QuickBooks so I can retrieve the "find" feature to look up, search past transactions. Is that possible?

No, QuickBooks data cannot not be imported into Quicken.

Is there anyway I can export the QuickBooks data (so can use the find feature) to another program?

The problem with the instructions above to convert a QuickBooks file to .csv and then to .qif ... is this:

Quicken Mac can't import a .qif file type.

So, unless it's .qxf, you're not getting it into Quicken Mac.  

And since the OP indicated they use Quicken Mac, all these instructions are pretty much moot.

Oops.  I meant to indicate that you'll need to somehow convert your file to .qfx in order to import it into Quicken Mac.

Actually, Quicken Mac can create a new file from a QIF file. Whether all the data will import or fall into the right places is unknown, because QIF is a very loose standard.

See this Quicken conversion guide and click the link under "Other" for "Start from a .QIF file exported from another application (Banktivity or Moneydance)".
