Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue
  • I will be providing steps how to reproduce the bug (in most cases this will also mean uploading a demo budget file)

What happened?

Searching for XF 35mm I'd expect to find entries with this string in it. If that doesn't work, "XF 35mm" should do so.
Instead second option doesn't show anything while XF 35mm seems to show random results.

Neither XF nor 35mm is in the search results.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Docker

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome

Operating System

Windows 11

Is there an easy way to copy a budget and remove a everything except of a few transactions?

But I've now seen the pattern already: "XF 35mm" that I've mentioned finds transactions with "XF 35mm" in it, but also all transactions where the amount matches the number:

I then tried searching for "dafasdfasd213sdaffsadf" which should lead to no result. But again Actual seems to pick out the numbers and searches for them:

So "a2b2c7d" would also find you all transactions where the value (payment or deposit) is starting with 227.
