Search! If there is a field for it, you should be able to search for it.
It's what computers do best. What's wrong with a search page that lists
every field on the system similar to, or an extension of, the GL report.

Export would be nice - pretty much on any report at all. If you can
report it, I think you should be able to turn it into a spread sheet.
Perhaps a menu item that you click on and it exports the current report.
I know you can cut/paste, but that's really not very slick for a user.

Tax by line item: I'm not on the latest version so perhaps this has been
fixed? Last time I saw a post from Dieter (some time ago) he said that
it wasn't necessary. It IS necessary.

Please don't tell me that I can write a script or use a postgresql
function or do it myself - I'm not a programmer and shouldn't have to
be. I shouldn't have to be a geek either..
