Trados would not recognize terms available in the Multiterm glossary when written with capital letters

Question

Dear Community! 
 Why would Multiterm not recognize terms if written with uppercase letters in the document? 
 "Cableado" is saved in the database, but Trados does not "see" it:

TDB definition has an option (unavailable upon the glossary creation), but I would say that by NOT selecting it, the program is supposed to IGNORE uppercase and lowercase characters: 
 
 Thanks in advance for the answer!

 "Question improvement suggestion": Please provide more information about the version of Trados Studio and MultiTerm you are using. Also, it would be helpful to know if there have been any recent changes to your system or software. 
 In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question: 
 Hello, 
 It seems like you're having an issue with Trados Studio not recognizing terms from your MultiTerm glossary when they are written in uppercase letters. This could be due to the case sensitivity settings in your MultiTerm glossary. 
 Here are some steps you can try: 
 Step 1: Open your MultiTerm glossary. 
 Step 2: Go to the 'Termbase Definition' section. 
 Step 3: Check the 'Case Sensitive' option. If it's selected, this means that your termbase is treating uppercase and lowercase letters as different characters. If you want your termbase to ignore the case of the letters, you should deselect this option. 
 Step 4: Save the changes and close MultiTerm. 
 Step 5: Restart Trados Studio and check if the issue persists. 
 If the issue still persists, you might want to check the 'Minimum match value' setting in Trados Studio. If it's set too high, Trados Studio might not recognize terms that are not an exact match. You can adjust this setting in the 'Options' menu under 'Language Pairs > All Language Pairs > AutoSuggest Dictionaries'. 
 I hope this answer addressed your question. If not, please reject the answer, add the question improvement suggestion information, and click the RWS Community AI checkbox on the right to try again.

Hi Yulia Kovalskaya 
 The option you are looking for is not in the termbase, but in Studio. 
 To control how Studio recognizes terms when working in the Editor, you need to check this option in your Project Settings here:

Hi Yulia Kovalskaya You are in the wrong place (TM instead of "Termbases"). In the left-hand panel, go to "Termbases":
