Write a bug report, I'll take a look at it.

…From my perspective, transactions posting within 3 days of the
transaction date should still get a match score of 6. One day after
transaction ought to be 8. One of the grocery stores I go to
frequently has never posted the charge to the credit card company the
next day. Sometimes there’s only a 2-day gap, but it is frequently 3
days. I suspect the difference between 2 and 3 days is related to how
late in the evening I go shopping.
And on the extreme end, for a checking account transaction, if the
imported check number (complicated by bank-prepended zeroes) and
amount match exactly, and the date in gnucash is within 180 days of
the bank’s date, then the transaction should still have some usable
match score. In the U.S., the bank will still pay that check. I have
had friends sit on checks for excessive lengths of time.
David, I completely agree with you. I have been doing a lot of
transaction importing from OFX recently, and it's a continuing problem
that I can't trust the matcher to handle dates the way you describe.
Would you care to add a bug report for this into the bug tracker,
<https://bugs.gnucash.org/> ? If so, I'll second it.
