Hey,
I’ve been using Emma for over a year and wanted to give some feedback and request some features.
Instead of writing a very long post with all my feedback, I’ll group it into topic.
This post is related to search and analytics.
Generate analytics from search
This would be a big feature. Being able to see all the dashboards from the analytics view, but with search filters.
Even more useful would be to be able to save these dashboards, so we can more easily monitor specific kinds of transactions.
Saved searches
I would love to be able to save searches that I’m running frequently. This would be even more useful if we had the dashboard feature I mentioned above.
More filter options
I would love to be able to combine filters using OR instead of AND. It would also be useful to have a NOT filter, e.g. category is NOT Bills.
Filter tags on analytics
I guess this is kind of the same as the first one, but starting from the Analytics view… It would be useful to apply search filters on the Analytics dashboard, e.g. filter by tags.

We also thought about creating push notifications based on filters - it’d be quite cool. 
For advanced editing - we have recently moved it both in Analytics and Budgeting; we have a design for Search which we are considering.
Saved searches is something we could do but maybe just locally?

Are there any updates on this?
One thing I’m constantly missing is more powerful filters for the search… I would love to be able to filter transactions that do NOT match some criteria.
Composable filters would be very handy, e.g. “transactions from categories X, Y and Z AND (NOT tagged with A)”.
For advanced editing - we have recently moved it both in Analytics and Budgeting; we have a design for Search which we are considering.
As I mentioned on other posts, the bulk/advanced editing has been very useful, but there’s still a lot missing. We’re only able to edit the category and edit tags. It would be great if we could bulk edit notes, dates and other attributes. Not a must, but more powerful tag editing would also be great, e.g. being able to add tags instead of overwriting them for all transactions.
Friendly bump on this! I was splitting expenses from a trip and calculate how much I spent on each category, but was unable to do this with the way I used tags, because when you add multiple tags to the search, it only let’s you search for OR (e.g. tagA OR tagB).
So I found myself in need of this feature again. It would be extremely useful to just implement a more flexible search in general (i.e. a “power” search).
Hi @ggavena,
do you mean you want AND instead of OR?

Yes, I would generally prefer to have AND as default than OR.
I can achieve the same result of OR by running 2 separate queries, but there’s no way to achieve the same result as AND without propery filtering support.
I ended up exporting the transactions and using Google Sheets to filter by the tags…
We also have designs for this; it might take a few more weeks, but it’s coming.

Just to let you know @ggavena, this has been built and will be out next few days!
