+ <sect3 id="tool-find-txn-criteria"><title>Explanations of the
+ Criteria</title>
+ <para>The <guibutton>Reconcile</guibutton> criterion
+ deserves some more explanation. Think of the selected
+ reconciliation status buttons
+ (<guibutton>Not Cleared</guibutton>,
+ <guibutton>Cleared</guibutton>, and so on) as a single group,
+ joined with a logical “or”. In other words, the
+ selection “<guibutton>is
+ </guibutton>” or “<guibutton>is
+ not</guibutton>” applies to the “or” of the
+ selected status buttons. The buttons which are left unselected
+ are simply ignored. (It’s not the same as saying
+ the reconciliation status <emphasis>must not</emphasis> be one
+ of these.)</para>
+
+ <para>For example: if you select <guibutton>Reconcile</guibutton>
+ <guibutton>is</guibutton> <guibutton>Cleared</guibutton>
+ <guibutton>Reconciled</guibutton>, that means you’re
+ saying “I want all transactions which contain cleared
+ splits OR reconciled splits” (imagine an invisible
+ “OR” between all the selected status buttons).
+ It’s the same as selecting
+ <guibutton>Reconcile</guibutton> <guibutton>is</guibutton>
+ <guibutton>Cleared</guibutton>, then adding another search
+ criterion with the <guibutton>Add</guibutton> button, then on
+ the new line selecting <guibutton>Reconcile</guibutton>
+ <guibutton>is</guibutton> <guibutton>Reconciled</guibutton>,
+ and finally selecting <guilabel>Search for items
+ where</guilabel> <guibutton>any criteria are met</guibutton>.
+ In either case, <application>&app;</application> will show
+ you exactly the same set of transactions.</para>
