Appreciate the interest in being able to search by description. While we're attentive to your feedback, I want to be open that we don't have any immediate plans for developing this atm.
We're staying close to feedback on how we can improve navigation for our customers when using Xero, and I'll let you know if there is any development planned surrounding this, here. Thanks

I can't understand why the description field is not automatically searchable. This extremely basic function was an assumption I made in switching recently to XERO - never thought to double-check this was available in XERO before moving our entire accounting system.
We regularly have to search back for information in the description field. The 'workaround' is not reliable - yesterday the system did not search the description field correctly and was unable to find an entry we were looking for despite it clearly being there (and subsequently found another way). It found 3 entries with the term in it but not the 4th. Super FRUSTRATING. UPDATE EDIT: Despite being dated in this search period, I think this 4th transaction is hidden somehow from search because it was imported/recreated from our previous accounting system by the accountant. I really hope this assumption is correct.
Regardless, the concern regarding the difficulty/complexity re the workaround in searching the description field remains. (Accounting/Account Transactions/Filter for Description field + search for term).
