Hi,
Sorry to respond to an old thread, but I'm catching up on 2 months of
emails while I was heads-down on another project..

Here's the problem with these approaches. A register is, by definition,
the result of a search. Specifically, it is a SPLIT searach where the
initial criteria is "split->account == register_account".
When you do a FIND from within a register, you are, by definition,
limiting your search to the *account splits*. Transfer accounts are, by
definition, in *other* splits, not the account splits. The reason is
that you get a search query that looks like:
Find splits where
Split->account == register_account AND
( ... your stuff ... )
So, in short, you can't do what you want from within a register because
of the way sub-searches are implemented.
The only way to do this search is to start from the CoA and search for
transactions' split-accounts that match both A and B.
Hope this helps,
