Transaction search needs reining in

I search for “7.00” and get 1,490 hits including things like 57.00, which sort of makes sense, but also any transaction in it with a 7 anywhere in it. So 213.70, 678.60, 213.37, etc.


In short, search doesn’t work.

    Try using "$7.00" (with the dollar sign)… that will narrow the results quite a bit. I still get the occasional false hit (like $7,000.00), but it works better.

    In my tests,

    • "$7.00" will match $7.00 or $7,000.00, but not $700.00
    • "$700" will match $700.00, but not the other two.

    That’s amazing, I didn’t know about the “$” trick!
