item search
Would be nice if you can include a comprehensive search feature for Items specially. Example the items should be searchable with any word in the item description

When trying to reconcile many transactions (such as when you have imported a bank statement) you may have many transactions from or to the same place i.e. suppliers or customers.
A very simple, but vital requirement would be to just be able to search the transaction 'Description'. Currently, (using the advanced search) you can only search the 'Reference', but in the UK (for example) they do not provide a reference, only a description, therefore you have to manual go through each of the entries and locate the same ones which takes forever.
Strangely, using the search option at the top seems to search the description but only for categorised entries, even if this was updated to search uncategorised as well it would help enormously!

Seriously guys, this is such a basic feature!!! Please implement ASAP! What has happened since the request was made on June 1, 2015... more than 3 years later?

These needs to occur asap, and can you advise when this will be resolved?
I would have thought it would have been factored in from day 1 -

This is basic but essential feature

this is important. it's also on a lot of other threads. this seems quite high on 140. ZOHO MODERATORS AND DEVELOPMENT / FEEDBACK PEOPLE should be trawling these forums to combine such things. I am tempted to start a campaign to bring the threads under one, but not really my job...!! :)

It seem like Zoho doesn't really care to spend time developing these operation critical "fixes" as it has been 2 + years sicne it was first mentioned and I am not sure if I want to jump in the Zoho boat anymore....

Absolutely! There is another thread about searching for transactions via description - cannot do this - an absolute weakness that seems easy to fix!

Agree with all comments.
We have to had to windows open one with invoice and the other with item as search on item is more powerful. Then copy the item and paste in the invoice.... some people even write it down as!! -

Strongly agree with the comments on this item. This is by far my biggest issue with Zoho invoicing and it seems so simple to fix, just search the whole name against all parts of the string the user types in.

I find the item search to be unpredictable. I haven't documented my findings but it just seems like when searching for an item it is hit and miss.

This is greatly needed by us as well. With over 1100 products, this is a deal breaker for us as it is too time consuming to scroll through that many products to find what your looking for.Kind of curious why this was made that way in the first place as it seems a standard comprehensive search would have been easier to implement for the entire field.

While creating an Invoice, while searching the Item, we should be able to search it with any part of the words and not just the first four letters

not just start with, for example i have 50 products that have first 3 words the same, i loose a lot of time by scrolling
