Hi there, GrahamJ19. I'll explain why disallowable expenses don't show up in the Search field.

 

Disallowable expenses are a specific classification of business expenses listed in the Tax Summary report. These indicate the costs that cannot be deducted from your turnover when calculating your taxable profit. The Search field is intended to find vendor names, customer names, expense transactions, or categories. This is why nothing shows up when you search for that term.
