Using TM lookup

TM lookup is a process that searches for specific source segment text in the translation memory. The results display source and target segments.

To perform TM lookup:

1. Enter a word or phrase in the TM Lookup text box. For example,

• Our Process: searches segments with either word available in lower, upper and sentence case.
• "Our Process": searches only those segments that include both words in the same order and case.
• Our+Process: searches segments which include both the words available in lower, upper and sentence case.

2. Select the Case sensitive check box to match case.

3. Click Find In Source or Find In Target.

Note: If you want matches that only have all the words in your phrase, use + signs between each word instead of spaces. If you use spaces in the search string, then results will show segments that have any of the words in them.
