Question

Search filters are not working

It has been over a week and the search filters for all of our transactions are not working. I received a case number from support last week and have not heard a thing back.

This is majorly affecting our business operations as I can not adequately complete invoicing. I can't search our invoices by address. I used to be able to select invoice and then type in even a partial address and it would pull up all related invoices. No our search says "No Results". The search feature is also "updated" now and looks different, so it appears something went wrong when that change happened.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Any suggestions on how to get this fixed?

Hi @Karly55 

 

If you're encountering issues with QuickBooks search filters not working properly, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

  1. Clear Cache: Clearing the cache and temporary files of your web browser can often resolve issues with QuickBooks Online. This can help eliminate any stored data or settings that might be causing conflicts.

  2. Try a Different Browser: If the issue persists, try accessing QuickBooks Online using a different web browser. Sometimes, compatibility issues can arise with certain browsers, so switching to another one may resolve the problem.

  3. Update Browser: Ensure that your web browser is up to date. Outdated browsers may not be fully compatible with the features of QuickBooks Online, leading to issues such as search filters not working properly.

  4. Check for QuickBooks Updates: Make sure that QuickBooks Online is up to date. Sometimes, issues with search filters can be resolved by simply updating the software to the latest version. Follow this link to know more about latest release QuickBooks software 

  5. Test on Another Device: If possible, try accessing QuickBooks Online from another device, such as a different computer or mobile device. This can help determine if the issue is specific to the device you are currently using.

  6. Contact QuickBooks Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it may be helpful to contact QuickBooks support for further assistance. You may directly follow this link to contact them. They can provide personalized troubleshooting steps and guidance to help resolve the issue.

  8. Review User Permissions: If you are using QuickBooks Online in a multi-user environment, ensure that the user permissions are correctly set up. Sometimes, restricted permissions can affect the functionality of certain features, including search filters.

  9. Test in Incognito/Private Mode: Try accessing QuickBooks Online in incognito or private browsing mode. This can help determine if the issue is related to any browser extensions or settings that may be interfering with the functionality of QuickBooks.
