Hi Adrien,
I wrote the new version of the type-ahead. One thing is that it only
shows a small number of matches (to make it more responsive). Off the
top of my head, I don't remember the exact number, but you could easily
find out by just typing a "a" or a very common character and you'll see
that the list does not include all accounts that have this character.
So I'm wondering if what you're seeing is a result of that?
For example when you say:
> When I type "gift" I get all of the savings accounts, all of the gift
card accounts, and *some* of the gift expense accounts, and do not get
the "Gifts Received" account at all.
I wonder if the number of accounts that you get in the match is equal to
the max (and therefore "Gifts Received" is not displayed)

Not sure if anyone else is seeing this, but I have several accounts
that don't show up as expected in the type-ahead search when selecting
an account for a split. (this is an awesome time saver by the way, and
thanks again to whomever coded it!)
I can't seem to find anything special about these accounts to give a
hint as to the problem. (none are marked as 'placeholder' or 'hidden'
for example)
Some background:
I have several asset accounts to track various savings for gifts I
need to purchase. (organized as "Assets::Savings:Gifts:etc.")
I have an additional set of several asset accounts to track balances
on various gift cards I have received. (organized as "Assets::Prepaid
Expenses:Gift Cards & Pre-Paid Cards:etc.")
I also have several expense accounts under an Expenses:Gifts node of
my account tree. (for when I give gifts to others, organized as
"Expenses:Gifts:etc.")
Finally, I have a single income account labeled as "Gifts Received"
for when people give to me. ("Revenue:Gifts Received")
When I type "gift" I get all of the savings accounts, all of the gift
card accounts, and *some* of the gift expense accounts, and do not get
the "Gifts Received" account at all.
Once I get to "gifts" then every expected account *except* the "Gifts
Received" account shows up.
If I proceed to "gifts " (with a trailing space) then, and only then
does the search show the "Gifts Received" account, which is the only
one shown as it is the only one with a space after 'gifts'.
A bug? Something wrong with my book?
