Idea delivered through searching using the Search Details pane instead of the Find feature.

Faster and easier Search in a TM

Normally, in SDL Trados Studio (at leas up to 2011), when searching from start in a opened TM, if the text is not found found in the 1st page, one gets a message that the text was not found and a prompt to continue or not the search. I find this not only totally unnecessary but also very annoying. Imagine that the text is to be found in te 10th, 20th, etc. page ... One has to continue clicking and clicking and clicking for next search ...
So, I think it is more than obvious, esp. for any sensible programming, for the S/W to just continue to search for the text until it finds it and, if not, only at the end issuing a message that it has not been found.

This is not a request, not even an idea. It's a complaint referring to a need for fixing an objectively and evidently deficient search process.

Hi Mr. Psimikakis Alexandros, instead of using the Find feature in the TM view, have you considered using the filtered search where you can just enter the word you are looking for into the "Source Text" field in the Search Details pane and click Perform Search? This will give you a paged search where you can see relevant translation units. This typically is much more efficient than using the Find feature. See http://docs.sdl.com/LiveContent/content/en-US/SDL%20Trados%20Studio%20Help-v4/GUID-5E63886E-7FE6-43A1-9E2F-7D9567E6E7EA for more information. Thanks, Daniel
