Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

Is this related to GoCardless, Simplefin or another bank-sync provider?

  • I have checked my server logs and could not see any errors there
  • I will be attaching my server logs to this issue
  • I will be attaching my client-side (browser) logs to this issue
  • I understand that this issue will be automatically closed if insufficient information is provided

What happened?

When typing in the category name into the search, it does not show the sub categories, making it very difficult to find a subcategory. For example, if the category is "food" , you should be able to type "food" into the search and have the subcategories "groceries, dining out", etc. show up.

Duplicate of https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/1615

We've been back-and-forth with this for a while now and the current consensus is that category groups should not be included in search results.
