Search Options
The options available to broaden or narrow your TextBase Web search results.
Page Size: The number of (source or target) segments displayed on the screen.
WordAlign Minimum Percentage: The smallest percentage at which a WordAlign result is relevant. 10% is a suitable default; this means that a translation must appear at least 10% of the time for that translation to be displayed.
Consecutive words: If you select this option, words in the Search field are only matched in the order specified. Otherwise, the TextBase Search displays every segment containing the words entered in the Search field, regardless of the order.
All Words: If this option is checked, only segments containing all words entered in the Search field are shown. Otherwise, segments containing any of the words are shown.
Newest Document First: When this option is turned on, files that were added to the TextBase last are searched first (reverse chronological order). Otherwise, files that were added first are searched first (chronological).
Search Type
- Exact
- Check this radio button if you wish to search for expressions as they are entered in the Search field.
