I have a large number of items (in this case Memos, in a Ningja site) that I would like to move from the present owner to an archive profile, in a quota where I am parking old site content.

I cannot find and see old Memos (some written many years ago) without having part of the title to enter into the field for "Select Item (live search field)".

It would be extremely useful if I could enter a dummy letter (asterisk) to reveal a list of all Memos previously written, and then select multiple Memos at a time when changing the owner.

Is this already possible, in some way?

The ChangeOwner module was designed to just move individual items between profiles. I'm not in the office atm but think the BatchEdit module might help here.

One-by-one operation is easy enough, in itself, in the case of the imported Ning notes (Memos) as the memos are displayed as a long list within a single profile, and can be browsed there to find titles, which can then be entered into the "Change Item Owner" search field. But this is slow for a general review of the positioning of all the old content.

This is a "one time cost" operation - we try not to spend a lot of time creating functionality that is use one time unless it is core to how Jamroom works. In this case the Change Owner module is what you want - Batch Edit does not work since it does not let you change the _profile_id of the item.
