I thought so too but it doesn't seem to work that way. I keep the general journal open on the desktop. It isn't that difficult to open it again, just a curiosity that it didn't show the search results in a new window like the account journals.
Once it shows the search results, I haven't figured out a way to get the general journal back to showing all the transactions after doing a search other than by opening another general journal. Might be able to do it by changing the filter settings in view. I'll try that tomorrow.
