I have a massive chart of accounts, how can I search?

[Graham Lane]

I have 6 top accounts but some of them have multiple subtrees. I just
exported to CSV and there are 295 accounts, some are empty and will get
deleted or hidden which will help.  Many of our contributions (incomes)
apply to specific activities or programs, some are restricted assets,
others liabilities, some are just plain old income.  95% of what we do with
a non profit is not taxable income but some of it is and that requires
income and expense categories for for both types.  We need to keep very
good track of this stuff to comply with our funders requirements.
