Concordance search and autosuggest not functioning

Question

Hello, 
 I have searched and searched the community, and watched a useful video by Nora, and I'm fairly sure all the correct boxes are ticked as advised, but my autosuggest function and concordance search are just not working...apologies that this is fairly vague, but, if I start typing 'furniture', for example, I would expect a few options to pop up, eg. furnish, fur... as I know I have already typed all three of those words. Also, when typing a word into the target text such as Fontainebleau (I had to type it many times recently!!) it doesn't pop up as a recognised term. Surely it should be part of the TM and show up? I have no termbase created yet, would this help? My TM contains just over 4300 units. I have Studio 2017. 
 
 Thank you, Claire

Hi Claire, 
 Sorry to hear about your frustration with AutoSuggest. It sounds like you want to see two particular AutoSuggest features working: upLift and term recognition. 
 For term recognition, you do need to create a termbase and feed it manually. That would help with your Fontainebleau example. Here's a link to a video that explains the basics of getting started with a termbase: 
 For upLift to work, your TM needs some previous preparation (upgrading) before fragments start being offered. If your TM was created in Studio 2017, then fragment matching should kick in as soon as you pass the 1000 translation unit mark. If it's an older TM, make sure to select Upgrade for your TM, and it will be prepared for fragment matching. Then, there's one more thing you need to do. Go to Project Settings, find your TM, go to Search, and make sure you enable fragment matching for TU Fragments (disabled by default). If you'd like to see even individual words come up in AutoSuggest, you can lower those numbers.

Regarding Concordance, I'm a bit puzzled, the only reason Concordance wouldn't work is if the Concordance checkbox in the TM is unchecked. Are all the right boxes checked in your TM under Project Settings? Or do you mean you're not getting Concordance suggestions in AutoSuggest?
