New invoicing - Searching items by start of field
New Invoicing - Type in Item - please change back to only searching start of field, as per old invoicing.
Now that typing in the Item field in the new invoicing brings up every item with that word or part word in anywhere, we either need to learn all the codes, or make sure our items all contain totally different words. It takes ages to find the item required.

Yes, so annoying! I'm finding this new way of searching for products takes longer too. Previously, I would just type in the item code then tab across and xero had already found the product. Now if I do that and tab across, xero hasn't found the product yet so it defaults to opening the "create new" screen. So now I have to type the product code, then wait until it finds it, then I can tab across.
I'm also having a similar issue when searching for contacts - I can type the contact's entire name, but because that word is contained within another contact's email, the other contact pops up first.

We have the same problem, not an ideal situation. We will have to reconfigure our entire 'item code' list to accommodate this issue.

Invoicing - Only display the Item Code and Name when searching
In the old invoice version, when adding an item it would search just by the item code which was great.Now it searches and displays even in the item description, so now end up with a big list to scroll through with description also showing, and especially as the font is bigger.
Any chance this can be looked into and item search just looks at item code/name, without searching and displaying description,?

Alternatively, list the items with that string at the start of the list and those where it is a part of the item code but not the start listed further down.
