[GNC] ^F Find not finding recently entered text in Memo field

[David H]

Jeff,

If you do a find from the accounts tab it will search in all splits, if
however you do a find in a Register tab it only looks at splits for that
particular Register, it doesn't search in splits belonging to other
Register's.  Are you falling into this trap ?

Cheers David H.
