Please Provide Method of Aborting Find and Replace

Timothy Frank

It is possible to unintentionally start a "faulty" Find and Replace, which once started, will continue scanning the file for tens of thousands of entries. A person has to wait a long period of time for such a faulty Find and Replace to terminate. Can you please provide a method of aborting a Find and Replace operation? Perhaps an "Abort" button?

Very much needed! Any find over 100(?) or 1000 results should be abortable.

I vote for this… I just accidentally ran a find/replace on short common word and it took 10 minutes to complete. While it is listing the 13,000+ entries it found, Quicken can not be used for anything else.

Thanks

This is desperately needed, since there's a bug where the search parameters can silently change when reopening the Find/Replace dialog. In my case "Amount" changed by itself to "Payee" and then the condition (a number) was always true so it tried to find every transaction in the database… took 15 minutes to finish with no way to stop it.

If the find can't be stopped once it has started listing the results, maybe there could be a confirmation if there are more than 100 or so matches:

"8,765 matches found. Continue?"

or something like that. Getting the count of matches should be much faster than listing them all.
