How to create a report of transactions that match certain criteria?

[David T.]

When search your data file for a certain set of criteria, GnuCash displays the results in a new temporary register. 

If you select the Transaction report that John referenced from this temporary register, the report will contain only those transactions which meet your criteria, since that is by definition what is in the register.

Thank you again John,
I don't see any mechanism in the Transaction Report for selecting
transactions that match certain criteria.  Nor do I see documentation
for this report in the Help Manual and Concepts guide.  I am using
GnuCash 2.6.5 on a Mac.  Is it possible that this is a feature
available in a newer version?  I see that 2.6.6 is available now.

For some reason, I thought the View>Double Line menu item was greyed
out when I viewed my selected transactions in the the Find window.
But now I see that it is not.  Sorry for the noise about that.
