Search function does not find all transactions

[AndreiGavriliu]

I am running Firefly III version 4.6.9

Description of my issue:

I exported all the transactions to see what I can rename/organize using rules to have a better overview
I found the following transactions which were not matched by one of the rules (it was e trigger mistake on my side). I fixed the rule, the transactions were renamed/organized correctly, however the search function does not find two (or maybe more) of them:

All expenses between July 1, 2016 and July 31, 2016

Number of transactions found: 20

Other important details (log files, system info):

As you can see, the search does not return any transactions from 2016. I have tried the following:

1. renamed a transaction from "Fuel" to "Fuels" and back to "reset" it
2. did a artisan ca:cl

The search has a hard-coded limit of 20.

You can use date-ranges to search in ranges of time (per year or per month). I shall make the limit something you can configure.

I tried to set the date ranges in the navbar (search ignores them), or directly in the search form fuel on:2016-07-18 but the latter one returns nothing. I am sure I am doing something wrong here, can you help? how do I have to format the search string? I also tried using the before:date and after:date options

It seems to work for me but I’ll have to debug at a later moment. I’ll get back to you.

Just an update:

I have tried the following:

• fuel on:2016-07-18 => returned 0 results
• fuel on:2017-10-23 => returned 1 result (correct match)

I've pushed a few changes that should fix this. Reason it didn't return anything is probably because it couldn't find it within 30 seconds. This has been improved making most searches doable within 30 seconds.

I can confirm, it returned all the entries matching "fuel" - thanks!

Closed, a new release is live.
