searching transaction memo and note fields

I'm "upgrading" to Quicken 2006 as a newbie to Quicken, having used Money for a number of years, last with version 2004. I like the ability to search the memo fields for purchase dates, helping to locate receipts by date for warranty claims. When I started using Quicken I was disappointed that the memo field is shorted than Money. Then, (Wow, I can write a book!), I found the Note attachments. Then, however, I was disappointed to find I can't search the Notes (can I?). While I was shoving pertinent purchase data into the memo field of a split transaction I found something surprising. Quicken doesn't seem to search the whole field but only the first part. Where is that documented? For example, enter:

Sleep Innovations Novaform Pillow Elite Contour 24.39-$6 coupon

into the memo field of a line item in a Split Transaction. Now click Find All for "pillow". Quicken can't find the pillow. Make pillow the first word in that text string, however, and it finds the entry. And finds it as the second, or third, word as well. But not as entered above. Is that a limitation of Quicken or am I doing something wrong? Do I get more space for searchable notes and memos in this version of Quicken than I got with Money, or less?
