FWIW I've been, happily, using GNUCash for several years.

I'm working on my 2022 taxes importing .OFX files from my banks. I 
generally want to add a memo on most transactions with notes  found from 
the vendor transaction details on their respective sites. Since this 
adding memos isn't currently possible during the import I move 
transaction to a temporary 'unaccounterd for 2022' register where I add 
notes in the memo field, categorize the transaction and save.

Occasionally I want to verify that I entered the correct notes in the 
Memo field. I do a find with 'contains' searching in the 'description, 
notes or memo' This find operation doesn't appear to be finding 
transactions I've entered today although if I search visually through 
the register they have been entered. I did upgrade to 4.13 from some 
4.xx version before I started working on this .OFX import. I haven't 
used Find for some time but if my memory is correct I've used find 
similarly in the past successfully.

I tried to find some kind of re-indexing function. Does such an option 
exist?

I did try exiting and restarting GNUCash and repeating the find with the 
same results, not finding transaction with memos entered today.
