The matcher works mostly from descriptions. Have those changed significantly?
There are two things you can do: Always update the matches and from time to
time use Tools>Import Match Editor to remove obsolete matches that might lead
the match algorithm astray.
If nearly all of your transactions will match descriptions exactly with their
predecessors then the non-Bayesian matcher may work better, but in all other
cases the Bayesian one will be better in the long run, though it requires more
training at the outset to start getting good matches and needs to be maintained
by reviewing matches and correcting mismatches *in the matcher* to keep on
track.
