Fuzzy search produces no results

Jeffrey Ganellen

Hi,

I recently installed the freelance version of Trados Studio 2022 and MultiTerm 2022 on my home computer. I have a MultiTerm database of some 14,000 terms that I had used at the office via a GroupShare server. It worked fine there. I set it up on my home office as a local termbase, using the same termbase definition. Everything works as expected with one major exception: fuzzy searches produce no results. This is true both in the MultiTerm environment and in the Term Recognition window in Studio.

I have reinstalled MultiTerm and reorganised the termbase, but no joy.

Any suggestions as to how to rectify this problem?

Thanks!

Jeffrey

    Hello Jeffrey,

    Based on your description, it seems like you've already tried reinstalling MultiTerm and reorganising the termbase. However, there are a few more steps you can take to rectify this issue:

    Step 1: Ensure that both Trados Studio and MultiTerm are up-to-date. You can check your installed versions on the Help tab, under "About Trados Studio/MultiTerm". If you don't have the latest updates, please install them.

    Step 2: If Trados Studio was outdated, it may also be necessary to repair both the Trados Studio and MultiTerm installations for them to interact correctly.

    Step 3: Add index files to the exception list of your security suite. Sometimes, security suites block actions on some of the necessary index files (*.mtf and *.mdf) for the termbase, preventing results from being shown. Close all RWS applications, open your security suite software, and add exceptions for the following file type extensions: *.sdltb, *.mdb, *.ldb, *.mtf, *.mdf. After you've added the file type extensions to your security suite, save the changes and restart your PC.

    Step 4: After restarting, go to the location where you store your termbase and delete the files with the following extensions: *.mtf, *.mdf. When you open your termbase(s) again in MultiTerm or Trados Studio, the index and fuzzy match files with the extensions *.mtf and *.mdf will be recreated during the opening process.

    I hope these steps help you resolve the issue. If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to ask.

    Best regards,
