Date Filter in Search Function

Hi Rubber Man,

I appreciate you connecting with us here. I can see the importance of being able to search for all your invoices using the Advanced Search as you've indicated in the screenshot above. I'll be glad to share more information on this so you can get back to doing what you enjoy. 

The Advanced Search function allows you to search for transactions that go two years back only. I'd recommend searching for older invoices right from the customer's page by clicking Sales on the left navigation menu > and click on Customers. From here you can select the customer in question and search for the invoice. I can see the benefit of doing all this using the Advanced Search function and I recommend sending feedback to our engineers. You can do this by clicking the Gear icon and looking for Feedback. 

Feel free to ask other questions in the comments below. I'm here to help you reach your QuickBooks goals. 

Unfortunately this doesn't help with what I am trying to do.  I want to be able to search using my customer's previous order numbers, or by a description of the parts they ordered previously.  I can't do that by what you have suggested.  I can't even search for one of my own purchase orders further back than 2 years.  Like I mentioned I used to be able to search like this as far back as I wanted.  This is very frustrating as I use this function on a daily basis. When did they implement the 2 year date range for Search (magnifying glass)????

I hear you on this. I'd highly encourage you to send feedback about this to our engineers. Product improvements are largely based on the feedback we get from users like you. While there isn't an exact time frame of when the 2-year range was implemented, I'd encourage you to check out this helpful article that shows you how to search for transactions in QuickBooks. Let me know if you have questions, I've got your back.
