    Aha! Is it avaiable in the Windos version? And if so, why NOT in the MAC version?

    @jdeflow Nothing has been taken away in the 8.5 years Quicken Mac has been on the market. If you're referring back to the old Quicken from 2007 and earlier, yes, a lot of things work differently. Some things are better. (For instance, Search in Quicken Mac now is actually far better than the old Find in Quicken 2007.) And some things are worse, or missing — not because they took anything away, but because the features just haven't been built yet in the very long process of building a modern Quicken program from scratch.

    You're not talking to the software developers on this site, so yelling to "Bring it back" isn't going to be effective, unfortunately. Voting for this feature, as @RickO suggested, is the only practical thing we users can do to get the features we cant added to the program.

    It might help if you explained what you're trying to be able to do, and perhaps we can help you get there. If you're trying to Find things, the Search tool is pretty flexible and useful if you configure your search correctly. If you're trying to change an old category to a new one, you can usually accomplish this via the Categories window, which allows you to rename, merge, and promote or demote categories. If you're needing to replace something else, the Transaction Info window lets you mass replace payee names, categories, tags, and memos, except the significant caveat that it doesn't work within splits.

    @jdeflow No high horse here — honestly. You typed multiple setences with exclamation points, and said you weren't happy — and I was only letting you know that your comments here wouldn't be seen by the folks at Quicken who you probably wanted to direct them to.

    I then offered to try to help if you provided a little more information, but if you're not interested, no problem.
