I believe that the General Journal should be limited to transactions after 30 days before today because some data files (mine for one) have so many transactions that if the General Journal tried to load all transactions it might take a very long time or even crash the program. Let the user try a manual method to load all so (s)he can see what happens and recover if it causes a problem.
The Find Transactions assistant is exceptionally clumsy in its basic design, so it isn't surprising that the documentation is too. I doubt that it could be substantially improved with less than a total re-write before the conversion to a full database format is completed. Then it should be much easier to fix.
