How to do Translation Memory Lookups (SearchSegment method) with ISegement ?

Question

Maybe someone has already asked about this question but I haven't found the answer yet. 
 Using Trados 2015 SDK, I have tried to search TM by source segment (ISegment) that come from segmentpair. (mixed with tag and string) 
 But the TM.LanguageDirection.SearchSegment ( settings, segment ) method required Sdl.LanguagePlatform.Core . Segment argument, I cannot use source segment (ISegment) directly. 
 So should I have to convert ISegment to Segment manually? 
 Element by element (tag, string, ...) ? 
 Or is there other simpler method to lookup TM by ISegment? 
 
 Thank you.

Hi Arthit, 
 
As you said, I think you have to convert the ISegment to a Segment manually. 
I would do something like the following code: 
 github.com/.../PlainTextExtractor.cs 
 
However, instead of PlainText, you would convert to a Segment.

Answer provided by Jesse is correct and it is exactly what Studio does internally. However I raised internally to expose Studio implementation as part of the API. Until that will happen the approach suggested by Jesse is your only option.
