Question

The Search box inside Invoices has stopped working. It says, "Unexpected Error—try again later." It's been like this since 11/26.

Hi there, Rangersound. I understand that you're having challenges utilizing the search box in your invoices. No worries. I'm here to provide you with some troubleshooting steps for your browser.

 

Since you're encountering errors when accessing the search box, I suggest performing some browser troubleshooting steps. Sometimes, cache-related issues can cause QuickBooks Online (QBO) to load incorrectly, preventing you from searching in the invoices section.

 

Here are the key shortcuts:

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Safari: Command + Shift + N

 

If there are no issues using a private browser, please go back to your regular browser and clear its cache.

 

Additionally, you can customise your invoices, estimates and sales receipts and make it personalised and professional-looking sales forms in QBO.

 

If you’ve tried all of these steps and the issue persists, please contact our QuickBooks Online Support team. They can provide a more thorough investigation into your account and help resolve the issue.

 

Don't hesitate to reach out if you still have concerns. I'm always here to help you every step of the way. Take care.

Thank you for responding and giving me some things to try.  Unfortunately, it still doesn't work.  And now I noticed the search box is gone.  So I'm guessing something is going on and they are working on the problem?
