You can search for TD entries either from or by selecting in the Browser Workbench. The only difference between these two paths is that in the former, the default is to search all terms, whereas in the Browser Workbench the default is to search only Active and Inactive terms.
Procedure
- Select a search mode.
- In the Search For: field, type the word or phrase to find. You can use asterisks (
*) in the text for a wildcard search. Entering only an asterisk into the Search For: field returns all terminology database entries. The search is case-sensitive.
- From the Search In: menu, select the language in which you expect to find the word or phrase.
- You can optionally use a terminology database attribute filter by clicking the Advanced button. See "Advanced TM and TD Search" for more information.
Note: Advanced Search is not available for MultiTerm termbases.
- Click the Search button (
).
Searching a term in a terminology database group will find matches in all Lookup TDs of that group, and the search results will display a terminology database column to distinguish in which database a particular entry was found.
Results
You can now use the search result set to perform exports and deletes, to create a validation project for the terms or entries in the result set, and to access the View Term page. See the "Working with TD Terms and Entries" topic in the WorldServer online help for details.
Note: You cannot modify terms or entries in MultiTerm termbases when you are working in WorldServer.
