As indicated https://bugs.tryton.org/issue5168 I'm trying to see how to 
approach (as suggested) under 4.0 
a function field 'searcher' that operates on 'sum' fields as the patch which 
worked on 3.8 no longer does.

The issue is that since 4.0 the balance and GL reports are huge and, as such, 
somewhat unuseable as they
include *all* accounts, including those with a start balance of 0 *and* no 
movements (D/C).

Under the French plan (PCG), I have for example in a company a balance 
generating 40 pages of output
for only 28 accounts usually printing on two pages.

NB: there are over 1200 accounts defined in the French plan

The General Ledger prints 948 pages (!) mostly throw away.

It should be possible to generate [periodic] balance or GL reports including 
only the
movements in the period (thus without start balance) as well.

This, unfortunately, has turned into a blocker to migrate production to 4.0 for 
the moment.

How would a 'searcher' be able to do this in the first place? 
Is there a good example already implemented in the existing modules to take a 
look at?

To me, it still seems more logical to have a global 'default' option 'with 
start balance'
and only, always, generate accounts with movements.

(That is, generating 'all' accounts is perhaps something that could better be 
done from 
configure->accounts or perhaps a even a new report under account plan)

I'd like to solicit other experiences/observations/suggestions from the 
community.

cheers
