Why isn't Rev more popular?

As an aside to this, one of the most frequently used pieces of
business software I have ever written is a search engine for MYOB. It
has the most useless search facility ever made and if you use it to
order thousands of different products from hundreds of suppliers, you
are lost, unless you can remember exactly what you entered. For
example, if you bought "Plastic sheet, acrylic", you can't search for
"acrylic", you can only search from the beginning of the string.

My utility uses AppleScript to grab all the data from MYOB
periodically, imports it in to the Rev app, then allows proper
filtering.
