Hi Timothy,

I don't understand exactly what you mean with "I've created a shortcut key for "Termbase Search"

This is how you can find Decreto Ley in Multiterm

and in Trados

In the list of shortcuts (In File-Options), there's an item called "Termbase Search". What does that do? It doesn't seem to do anything.

I know how to use the Termbase Search box manually, but I assumed there's be a way to select text in the source text and perform a search on the selected text. It's possible in DVX and MemoQ, so I assumed it was in Studio too. Is it not possible?

In any case, I'm not sure how reliable this kind of search is. My termbase has inconsistent translations for the word "Acuicultura", so I wanted to see all items with that word. I searched for the word, but it only finds the item with just the word "acuicultura". It doesn't give results for some of the other items that I know are in the termbase, namely:

• Subsecretaría de Pesca y Acuicultura
• Servicio Nacional de Pesca y Acuicultura

I don't understand why "Acuicultura" doesn't find the above entries, but "Decreto Ley" does work for the example in your screenshot.

I have tried to associate a shortcut to Termbase search. It simply activates the window Termbase search, then you have to put the word in the search box manually. I agree that it may be useful to select source text and launch a search in the termbase.
