Hi, @H7.
It's my pleasure to share with you some information about finding transactions in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
Finding your transactions using the initials of your reference number is not yet an option with QBDT. At this time, you need to input the complete number or details on the Ref.No. field. 
As a workaround, you can open the Transaction List by Vendor report and add the Number column to locate your transactions easily.
Here's how:
- Click on Vendors & Payables from the Reports tab.
- Select Transaction List by Vendor.
- From the report's page, go to the Customize Report tab.
- Go to the Display section, then add the Num column. If necessary, you may filter the transaction type to bills.
- Hit OK.
Once completed, you can now see the reference details from the Num column.
For more tips about managing reports in QBDT, you can open this article: Understand reports.
Moreover, you can open this link to learn more about the Accounts Payable workflows you can use in QuickBooks Desktop.
If you have any other questions about finding your transactions in QuickBooks Desktop, please let me know by adding a comment below. I'm more than happy to help. Keep safe!

Hello there, Coacholson. I'm here to ensure that you can use the F3 keyboard shortcut.
Before anything else, pressing the F3 key on your keyboard activates the "Find" function. This feature allows you to search for specific content by entering keywords or text in a search box or dialog.
The keyboard shortcuts sometimes won't work due to keyboard driver corruption. It's essential to update your keyboard drivers. If the issue persists, you can use the CTRL+2 as an alternative.
