Start the search from the accounts tab, it will then search every
account.
Don't close the search box, then you can edit the search for the next
try.

Last year my accountant asked for data on a transaction, gave an
amount, date (not correct) and a payee (not right either)
I used the search box for the amount and was able to find the
transaction, then I had the correct date and could find the receipt.
