Did you know that there are 7 ways to search within QuickBooks?

 

#1 - Registers
 
QuickBooks has a register for every account on your balance sheet.  If you go to Banking, then 'Use Register', you will have the option to select the account register you want to search in, choose the account from the drop down, and then choose 'OK'

Once the register appears, then you can choose the 'Go To' option and choose the field you want to search in.

#2 - Simple Find


This is an expanded version of the Go To previously mentioned in method #1.  Choose Edit, and then Find, or simply press Ctrl-F and the find option will appear.  You can search based on types listed in the screen shot below.
 
Choose the transaction type from the list, and then complete the additional fields.  If you do not know all of the field information, it will search based on what you have entered.

Once the list appears on the screen, you can then double click on the transaction to view it, click the report button to further refine the results, or click the export button which will export the results to a CSV file or Excel spreadsheet.

 

 

#3 - Advanced Find
 
This feature is similar to the simple find method, but has many more criteria options to search on.  You can choose one criteria or dozens. To use this feature, click on Edit, Find (Ctrl-F), and then the Advanced Tab.

Once you have the Advanced find screen, you then can choose the filter or filters that you want to search.  Once you hit the search button and the results display, you have the same options as in method #2.
