Hi Derek, In the absence of tags in GnuCash, I thought I would use the *Number *field as a pseudo tag since I am not using it for anything else.
So my search would be along the lines of *AFTER-dd/mm/yy AND BEFORE-dd/yy/mm AND CONTAINS-STRING-[tag]*. Then what I'd want to do it run the search again with the same date constraints but a different tag. So, it appears your answer means I will simply have to re-enter the date range every time. I am an absolute amateur when it comes to accounts, but it does seem to me that the GnuCash could be improved in this area. Tags would be great, as would a bit more flexibility on custom reports. Thank you for your answer.
