Combining a TM search and a TM filter

For more focused results, you can apply both a TM search and a filter to the active translation memory (TM), in the Translation Memories view.

Procedure

  1. In the Translation Memories view, make the TM for which you want to combine a search and filter the active TM.
  2. Make sure the Search Details window is displayed. If not displayed, got to the View tab (on the Ribbon), and then, in the Information group, select Search Details.
  3. In the Search Details window, select the filter you want to apply to the TM from the TM Filter drop-down list.
  4. Select your search options:
    1. Enter the search criteria in the Source Text and Target Text boxes in the Search Details window.
    2. In the Search Type drop-down list, choose the type of search you want to perform.
    3. Select the Use wildcards checkbox to use wildcards in your search.
    4. Select the Case sensitive checkbox, to distinguish between uppercase and lowercase in your search.
  5. Select Perform Search.
    The TUs which match the search criteria and the filter criteria are displayed in the TM side-by-side editor window.
