 In addition to what Ali suggested, you could also consider making use of T-Windows for clipboard. This application could be used to search the TM whenever you like:

 It's not installed by default anymore, but you can find the plugin here:

Hi PIETRO SFERRINO 
 You were very clear 
 I was just checking that you know about using Concordance searches. 
 In the TM view you can set up a filter to search with. You can enter your search phrase in the Source Text and/or Target Text lines then click 'Perform Search'. Only translation units with your search phrase will be displayed: 
 
 The above TM has several pages. I filtered for Source Text 'timber frame' and the two TUs with that phrase in are listed. If I'd also added 'charpente' in the Target Text line it would have only listed the one TU that has both terms: 
 
 Basic instructions for filtering are here in the SDL Trados Studio 2019 online documentation: 
 Combining a TM search and a TM filter 
 You can also add various 'conditions' to narrow down a search, via 'Add'. 
 
 Basic instructions for creating a filter and adding conditions are here: 
 Creating TM filters with explanations of the TM filter dialog and how to Add/Edit/Insert condition below it. 
 You can also give the filter a name and save it if you want to use it again. 
 I hope this is what you're looking for. 
 Enjoy your Sunday! 
 All the best, 
 Ali

 When you search a TM you are not searching page by page, only displaying a certain number of results at a time. Have you tried changing the default? 
 
 If there are more search results than 1000 I imagine it ceases to be so important that you have a few pages.

Hi PIETRO SFERRINO 
 In case you don't know, when you're working in the Editor view, translating, you can use Concordance to search the TM and it will list a given number of translation units that contain the text you're searching for...

 I hope this is helpful!
