In the general ledger section, the drop down box has to be active to bring up the list of accounts. It does not have a search feature in the actual box.

I use account numbers to enter information and have a list posted on the side of my monitor for reference. This allows me not to use the drop down box and makes data entry faster.

Is there a way to implement this?

Not sure I understand this one. Can you post screenshot so I can see what screen you are talking about?
