In Studio editor, MultiTerm doesn't show singular term if plural form is found

Question

Example: In my Termbase, the plural term "valeurs" has 2 entries, and its singular form "valeur" has 10 entries. In Trados Studio editor, my source text contains the plural form "valeurs". 
 The term base recognition window will only display the 2 entries for "valeurs", but ignores the 10 singular occurrences. 
 However, if I delete both occurrences of "valeurs" from my termbase, the window will then show me the 10 singular entries. 
 I really need to see both the singular and plural entries of each term, or at least have the option to do so. 
 (By the way, I've ticked "Allow overlapping items") 
 Any solutions or fixes would be much appreciated. 
 Regards, 
 Sam

Hi Sam, 
 
I discussed with support and the only thing they would have suggested is exactly what Jesse already did. So would it be possible for you to provide a sample file and a sample termbase where you can reproduce the issue and then we can test with your scenario and log a bug if necessary. 
 
You can email them to pfilkin@sdl.com if this is ok? 
 
Regards

Just want to close this one off. It's not possible to get "fuzzy" matches where the correct term has already been found, at least not if you use separate entries for every term. The solution in this case is to restructure the termbase so that the different grammar terms are synonyms and not separate entries, and also add a field for the grammar entry if you wish for additional clarification.
