Memo column is missing in the global search results

I noticed a change after the February R66.18 update (Windows 11). The memo column is missing in the global search results (and tag and ck# also) after I enter a term in the upper-right global search transactions search box. It shows columns for account/payee/category/amount, but there is no memo column. This is a change from before, when the memo column was displayed. Quicken Help says the memo column is displayed in the global search results. The memo column is particularly important so you can find something specific you have entered. If I search for a memo term, the results appear for transactions with that term, but there is no memo column. So, you can’t scroll down to the entry you want. This also happens if I use the Quicken find in a register, with no memo column. You must open each one individually. That isn’t useful. If I do a report, however, the memo column (and tag and ck#) is displayed. But that is not as convenient.

Has anyone else experienced this?

    To the right of the Amount header is a grey icon of some sort … click that to choose what columns to display.

    Hi @StanleyK,

    Thank you for reaching out.

    As @NotACPA mentioned, you can adjust the column settings from the top-right corner of the register (please refer to the image below for guidance).

    Simply open the column settings, check the box for the Memo column, and then click Done to apply the changes.

    I hope this helps!
