Enter your idea

The search function on xero is not very intelligent.
If I have a customer saved as "Wife and Husband LastName", but I search for "Wife LastName", nothing will show up, because it doesn't have EXACTLY the same characters as what the customer was entered as.

If I have a customer saved as A&G but I type in A & G (with spaces around the ampersand), nothing will show up because it's not entered EXACTLY the same.

I use a language learning website where you can enter in 3 letters in the middle of the title of the video you're looking for, and the video you wanted will show up. Example: searching for "Nor" will pull up a video called "My Trip To Norway".
On Xero I would have had to remember exactly what the video was called to find it, instead of just remembering that it had something to do with Norway.

So I know it's possible to build useful search functions.

I have thousands of customers and can't remember exactly how I entered them. I often have to search for someone two or three times, or look up their address or phone number in a separate spreadsheet and search for them that way instead. It's a time waster and it's frustrating.
