I still don't understand.   Let's say you have:

  Assets:Current Assets:Bank1:Savings
  A:C A:Bank 2:Savings
  A:C A:Bank 3:Savings

Yes, you have three accounts named "Savings", but why would you need to
see them "together", let alone "search" for them?

Could you please give more details about exactly what you're trying to
do?  I recommend you go into specific detail about what exactly you're
doing.  Don't be abtract here...   There may be a better way to do what
you're trying to do, but currently I don't understand the abstract of
what you're attempting, so let's try a specific use-case.

Thanks,
