Why does my search not show the details of previous transactions? It is left blank and I therefore must look them up. Before, it would list recent transactions.

Hi there, 

It's important you're able to search and see the details of your previous transactions. I'd be happy to assist you with this so you can get back to doing what you enjoy. 

QuickBooks Online makes finding transactions quick and easy with the search function. If you need to find transactions in your account history, see Find a transaction in Account history. I recommend searching for your transactions using the magnifying glass. Here's how:

1. Select the Magnifying Glass.
2. Enter the date, amount, or transaction number you’re looking for, then select the desired transaction.
3. If the transaction you're looking for does not appear on the results list, select Advanced Search.
4. Adjust the filters to find the type of data you want. For example, use the following filters to find all transactions from the past 30 days with a value of $100.
   1. Change Reference no. to Last Modified Date.
   2. Change Today to Past 30 Days.
   3. Select Search. This should give you a list of transactions that meet your filter criteria.
   4. Narrow the list by changing Last Modified Date to Amount. Choose Equals from the second ▼ drop-down menu, then type 100.
   5. Select Add Filter.

Note: You can customize your results by selecting the small Gear icon above the search results, then choose the columns you want to display.
