Is there a way to choose case sensitivity for my TM?

Stepan Konev

Yesterday, I created a new idea for non-case-sensitive concordance search because I could not get result that I needed. However, when I tried it with another TM today, it worked as if it was non-case-sensitive already. Seems like I miss something... That's why I deleted the idea. My question now is if I can enable/disable this feature for an existing TM?

    Hi Stepan

    Concordance search uses a special algorithm and there is no way to control how it searches.
    Also, as you noticed, the results can change depending on the TM...
    The advantage of concordance search is that it is fast, however it sacrifices a lot of accuracy.

    From experience, searching terms in all capital letters is unreliable.
    However, if you search the same term in lowercase, you can find the all capital letter term.

    Hopefully SDL is working on improving the concordance search, upLift improves the situation, but you cannot perform searches yourself.
