[GNC] Missing Account(s) in Type-Ahead Search

I see it is indeed a feature, and not a bug.

"gift" and "gifts" both return 30 matches which appears to be the max.

I'm certainly fine with it as-is and appreciate the fast results. I know 
how to get to that account, with a single extra space, and of course, 
searching on "Recei" brings it right up as well.

Thanks again for this extremely helpful feature!

Regards,
Adrien
