Let's figure out the cause of the advanced search feature issue and fix it to keep you going with your task, Ivan.

 

One possible reason is that you have accumulated too much historical data from your browser. It causes discrepancies that affect the view and performance of your QuickBooks. It might be why it's not working on your end. 

 

To verify, you can open your QuickBooks Online account on an incognito window to help us determine if this is a browser-related issue. Feel free to use either of these keyboard shortcuts: 

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Safari 11 or newer: ⌘ + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Shift + Ctrl + P
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + N

 

Then, try to search for transactions again, but you can add filters this time. If it works, you can return to your original browser and clear its cache to start fresh. You can also use another supported, up-to-date browser to narrow down the results.

 

 If you need to find transactions in a register, see this handy article: Find, review, and edit transactions in account registers in QuickBooks Online.

I have the same issue. I have already followed the instructions to clear cache and cookies. I have tried with different browsers. Still not working.

  3. Please enter your question and select Continue.

Today, the Advanced Search Function can be used as usual. I don't know why.

 

Before posting this issue, I tried clearing the cache and history, changing browsers, opening in an incognito window, and even restarting the computer, but nothing worked.

Why Why Why would you change this?  It's bad enough I have to keep clicking "switch to classic view", now I can't easily find my transactions that I JUST worked on.  The search bar stinks.  The magnifying glass that was tucked between the "my experts" and "help" is gone.  No one at QB's knows what I'm talking about.

 

Why keep raising your prices and changing to a less adequate product!!!!!!
