Why can't I search the description anymore to find a product/service when creating an invoice with the new layout?

I used to be able to type a word in the product/service box on an invoice and the results would search both the name of the product/service and the description. Now, with the updated layout, only the product/service name is searchable. My p/s names are named by the part number. For example a 10lb ABC fire extinguisher is 120 and the description was 10lb abc fire extinguisher. If i searched abc, it would pop up but now i can only search 120 to find it.

Why can't I search the description anymore to find a product/service when creating an invoice with the new layout?

Hello there, @atlasfyr1.

 

In QuickBooks Online's (QBO) new invoice layout, the description will only be visible after choosing a product or service from the dropdown. Thus, I encourage you to share your thoughts with our software engineers. They carefully examine customer feedback, especially when determining how to improve QuickBooks.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Go to the Gear icon and select Feedback.
  3. Type in your suggestion and click Next.

Keep me posted if you have any additional questions about managing your invoices. I'll be right here to help.

This is the standard answer we always get. It would be nice to have a true solution or maybe a bench test of functionality before you roll out an update.
