[GNC] 8.1.1. Find Transaction

[David Carlson]

I am not at a good place to check the help, but I recall that it is vague.
If you click on the Add button on the left it should be possible to enter a
second criterion, etc. I would expect that to work once the first criterion
is completely entered,  I think this new GTK3 stuff sometimes greys out
buttons that still work.
