First, no need to post your question twice.  We did see it the first
time (even though someone else stole the thread).

Second, What OS/Distro are you using?

Third, when did you upgrade to 2.4.x, and when did you notice the issue?

Fourth, what happens when you go to Business -> Customer -> Find Invoice
and then select [Invoice ID] [matches regex] .

Fifth, what happens if you click on the "search only active data"
checkbox?
