The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Money 98
 - Microsoft Money versions 4.0, 5.0 for Windows 95
 - Microsoft Money versions 1.0, 2.0, 2.0a, 3.0, 3.0a
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SUMMARY
=======
 
In Microsoft Money, an unexpected transaction may be found when you use the
Find command.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
The Find command in Money finds any instance of the search string
within a field, not just an exact match.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
Money 98, 5.0 and 4.0 for Windows 95 list all the transactions found.
To find your transaction, scroll through the list.
 
In Money 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0, click Find Next until you select the correct
transaction.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
When you perform a string comparison, Money does not have the ability
to match only the whole field or the whole word. References to the
search string within a field or word will also be selected.
 
This occurs with numbers, dates, or text. The following are examples of
search results:
 
 - If you searched for "101," Money also finds transactions that
   include 101, such as "1010," "1101," "2101."
 
 - Searching for "1/1/95" also finds 11/1/95.
 
 - Searching for "abc" also finds "zabcd."
