Ok, my recommendation (we could do this for 1.3.40): Account numbers are hierarchical, so it makes sense to do a prefix match for those, but we can modify the logic so it does an internal match for description (so 'soft' would match 'Computer Software' as well as 'Income from Microsoft').
Any objection to this change?
