Thanks David. Interesting,

If I do the find from the Accounts tab it does find the transaction. But 
I have been searching in the bank register where the transaction I'm 
looking for resides. It doesn't find the transaction that is in the bank 
register searched from that specific bank register where the transaction 
I'm looking for resides.
