[GNC] Find or search all expenses in a certain account

[Gio Bacareza]

Hi John,

I also actually tried that Find > All Accounts > Choose Accounts =
Expenses:(all children) and it's still blank.

To be honest, I find this text in the documentation really hard to
understand:
"The Account option performs a search where the accounts selected in the
Choose Accounts dialog will both be searched individually for results. This
means that a match in any of the selected accounts will either be displayed
(matches any account) or discarded (matches no account).

The All Accounts option performs a search where accounts selected in the
Choose Accounts dialog will only return results that match in both
accounts."

Thanks
