If you do not indicate a commodity in your search, the search result will offer rates both with and without commodity.

It is furthermore possible to search multiple rates at once. However, please make sure that you compare the correct line in the search field with the correct line in the result. (See indication in the screenshot). Click Add line (local menu) to add one or more search lines. You can tick off the results individually. Confirm with OK.

The respective field remains blank if no match is found. You can, however, manually edit the field.
