Using Options > Filter > Transaction Filter is likely the way. My boat would float a lot better if I can use combo of Descriptions (live it alone since I let import clobber it), Notes (date range of trip) and Memos (location of trip). Is that possible or is the filtering looks at only a single field in totality?

That was a dead end based on trying to use the Action field. Just do a Transaction Report and use the Options > Filter > Transaction Filter and enter your target text. Note, you can use either Descriptions, Notes (visible in Double-Line Mode) or Memos, whatever floats your boat.
