I used to use the feature edit find advanced but now it seems to have disappeared.  Now it goes to match and does not give me any other options to search, did something change recently?

Thanks for posting here, @ExamPro,

 

If you're getting unexpected problems on your company file, like missing menus on the toolbar, open a test company. This platform has all the features of the actual working file making it a great place to check for corruptions and data issues.

 

To open a test file, click the Open a sample file drop-down on the QuickBooks Startup page. See this illustration:

 

However, if the problem persists on the sample company, use the Repair Tool. It fixes most issues with the software. Here's how:

 

  1. Create a back up your company file beforehand to avoid any accidental data loss.
  2. Reboot the computer and tap the Windows Start menu.
  3. Find Control Panel on the search field or select it from the list.
  4. Press Programs and Features then Uninstall a Program.

    Note: If you don't see Programs and Features, select Programs instead. Then select Program and Features.

  5. Pick QuickBooks from the list of Programs, then press Uninstall/Change.
  6. Click on Continue, or Next. then Repair.
  7. Press Next again then wait for the tool to start its diagnosis.
  8. Hit Finish when done.
