On Quicken 2007 a quick report could be formed which used the find feature on a field like memos. The result was fast and showed every incidence of the search key (as good as it was - even though it was not very flexible).
The find feature could even be used standalone to search either direction for a keyword or phrase AND the result was actually highlighted, so it could be found easily; and a keyboard return would let you advance to the next etc.
Those are two of the reasons I keep going back to an older computer and Quicken 2007 to search through older data, even though that data is also in the new version.
I now have version 7.1.1 (expired) and I'm still thinking whether I'll renew because I don't like features that are not as good as the past.
