Jeff,
Please reply to list so others can contribute to the discussion. I took
the liberty of posting this reply to the list.
Looking at your illustration, if you search for that text string
"Detection" starting from the register for "Expenses:Household:Misc" or
from the Accounts tab, it will be found, but it will not be found if you
start your search from that bank account register. That is no different
from GnuCash behavior over the last several years.
