I often find myself searching for old transaction, often based on sketchily remembered information. Similar programs I have used in the past usually have a key word or wildcard search which will let me search the entire address for a certain word without me knowing just where in the address it might appear. This is very useful with business names, which may not fit gracefully in the first name-last name format Paypal requires, or people's name when they come from a culture where they do not have the rigid distinction between first and last names we do.
Is there any way to do such a search of my Paypal account?

The work around we use is to export the transaction data to a CSV file, then use an app like Excel to sort and manage. Check out this user guide for report tips:
