Elmar, It is possible to do some limited tuning of the matching algorithm. Edit-> Preferences->Import although the adjustment of the parameters and what their effects are is by no means intuitive or clear. The matching time window is hard coded in so I regularly get matches to regularly repeated transactions in the previous month when I am importing CSV data which is fortunately failry infrequent these days. Particularly on CSV imports I check very carefully before accepting GnuCash's matches.
The OFX files have unique UUIDs on each transaction whereas the CSV data imports do not have unique identifiers that can be used to distinguish different transactions and any hand entered entries will not have the external UUID assigned by the bank. The matcher is not prefect. but it does generally work reasonably.
