How do I find an "exact" amount in Quicken for Mac?

Question

In Quicken Deluxe 7.6.1 for Mac, if I search for a number — say, 9.00 as an example — it finds anything with the string 9.00, as in 19.00, 29.00, and so on. Sure I can sort the transactions, but I'd like to limit my search. I tried "9.00" but that did not work.

Is there a way?

Thanks.

Thanks for the info about Intuit. Now, I can change my list of log-ins and passwords to read "Quicken" instead of "Intuit Quicken". Anyway, some basic search parameters do not need to change the interface; you could just use quotes, for instance. But anyway, I have my answer. Thanks.

While a complex search (less than, greater than, amount & date range, etc.) seems out of the wheelhouse of Intuit, using simple quotes should not be a burden on the programmers.

@TLMurray74  First, just FYI, Quicken hasn't been part of Intuit for the past 8 years; it's an independent company.

Second, I believe the issue its not the complexity for the programmers to implement for search options, but their desire to keep the interface simple and not confuse users. Many of us here would like to see more search options, such as quotes — or the option for exact match, or grater than/less than, or range — I think the developers have been wary of making the interface more complex with more options. Hopefully they'll find a nice middle ground between more powerful and ease-of-use in the future.

Whether withdrawal or deposit isn't the point of the issue. If I search for 9.99 or –9.99, I should not get 19.99 and –19.99, and so on. While a complex search (less than, greater than, amount & date range, etc.) seems out of the wheelhouse of Intuit, using simple quotes should not be a burden on the programmers.
