The specific search instance I had is this. I have a Gnucash file with 
accounts X, Y, and Z. X and Y have split Memo fields containing the 
search string 'paid'. I display account register X and search for 'paid' 
in the Memo field. Zero results. I then go to 'List of accounts' tree 
tab and search the same, using 'New Search' every time. I get results 
from both X and Y. So this works, but I don't want the result from Y.

So again I search from the accounts tree tab adding the 'and' condition 
of Account and set it to X. Again 0 results. I display account register 
Y and run the search on Memo field only. Again 0 results.

To make doubly sure I created a dummy gnucash file with accounts X, Y 
and Z as above. Same results. So looks like a bug to me.
