Sales by Item - no search function

This upgrade has made the sales by item report impossible to navigate. We have over 1000 items and I don't want a list of every item for the date range selected so that I have to scroll through everything to find what I want. I often need to check who I have sold something to in the past as I might need to check a specific length or configuration of a previous order. Previously I could go to item search and start typing the size and it would bring up all items which are that size. I could then click through the various options. Now I have to go through my whole list of items to find what I need. And if i want to look for the history of that item from 5 ot 6 years ago until now the report takes forever to load. I used this report a lot as I have numerous customers that order the same type of assembled items. It helps me to be able to check across customers for this information as multiple customers use similar items. Can you please add a search function to the report so it just pulls items which contain that data e.g. i could put in 22mm and all items containing that come up on the report.
