Well, today I’m excited to be able to show you the new search we’ve been working on. This new search implementation, rebuilt from the ground up, will find transactions across all accounts and you can also limit the results by amount. Even with this workaround, Banktivity 5 for Mac has been lacking a comprehensive search like has existed in the iOS apps for some time now. There are a couple of tricks, for example putting accounts into a group account, selecting the group account, and then searching across all of the accounts in the group. I’ll be honest, this lack of ‘across account search’ has been a weak spot in Banktivity for Mac for several releases. And if this is what you are thinking, you are absolutely right. Many of you might be thinking, well that’s great, Banktivity for iPhone and iPad search across all accounts, but I know Banktivity 5 for Mac doesn’t. I just tapped the search icon, entered my search terms and it searched across all of my accounts.
When I did this search on Banktivity for iPhone I didn’t even need to remember from which account I made the purchase. Anyway, I found the $295 transaction without too much trouble. I also remembered I bought the bike originally at West Hill Shop, so I could have searched for that payee instead. No problem, I thought, I can just pull up Banktivity and search for “bike” or “bicycle” and if I gave it a decent note, like I normally do, it would be found. For example, the other day when we were prepping for a yard sale, we wanted to know how much we originally paid for a bicycle we were selling. One of the benefits of using Banktivity is being able to look up historical financial information.
