Sean,

Ah, cool feature.

Anyway, it still is weird because things originally like "Checkcard  
3234 - Cafe Meow" match "Checkcard 0989 - Joe's Auto repair", almost  
no matter what shows in the "Cafe Meow" place.

I have no idea how the matching works, but having it ignore the  
useless "Checkcard ####" or "Check ####" at the start of an entry  
might solve the problem.
