Most web search tools respect 'https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/' as a way of restricting the search to the gnucash-user mailing list archives. That might help you search the archives.
… Previously, on the PC, my manually entered notes were NOT overwritten. Now that I'm on the Mac, the notes are being overwritten by that arcane data, but I don't know if that is a PC vs Mac thing or a version change thing.…
It might also be a "you are using the software differently" thing. Check in the transaction matcher window, which appears during the transaction import. If the status column reads "C", then your notes and memo field should stay unchanged. If it reads "U+C", then the notes and memo fields from the imported file should replace your notes and memo fields. See documentation at <https://www.gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?rev=4&lang=C&doc=help>, especially "Table 6.1. Import Status of Transactions".
…I don't really want to lose my manually entered data, but I would like to have the bank data imported an synchronized as well. Is there anything I can do so that the generic transaction information doesn't overwrite my previously entered notes?
GnuCash does not offer that option, as far as I know. I wish it would. Maybe you have thoughts to add to Bug 797678 - "OFX importer should supplement, not replace, existing Notes (and Description and Memo) fields" at <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797678>.
