Hello Rosanna,  

Thank you for your detailed question! It sounds like you're encountering a common challenge when working with Machine Translation (MT) in Trados Studio. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you prioritize your Translation Memory (TM) matches over the MT results and ensure that fragment matches are visible:  

**Step 1:** **Adjust Project Settings**  

- Go to **Home > Project Settings**.  

- Under **Language Pairs > All Language Pairs > Translation Memory and Automated Translation > Search**, ensure that the option **Look up segments in MT even if a TM match has been found** is **unchecked**. This will prevent MT from overriding TM matches.  

**Step 2:** **Set Minimum Match Value**  

- In the same settings area, check the **Minimum match value**. You may want to set this to **100%** for pre-translation tasks. This way, only segments with exact matches will be pre-populated, and MT will not be used unless there are no TM matches.  

**Step 3:** **Enable Fragment Matching**  

- Still in the Project Settings, under **Segment Fragment Matching Options**, ensure that **TU fragment** is checked. This will allow fragment matches to be displayed.  

**Step 4:** **Check AutoSuggest Settings**  

- Go to **File > Options > AutoSuggest** and ensure that the **Fragment Matches** option is selected. This will help you see fragment matches as you type.  

**Step 5:** **Review the Fragment Matches Window**  

- If you want to see fragment matches even when there are TM results, go to **File > Options > Editor > Fragment Matches Window** and ensure that the option **Display results from the Fragment Matches window if the TM lookup returns no results** is selected.  

**Step 6:** **Pre-translate Your Files**  

- After adjusting these settings, run a **Pre-translate** batch task to ensure that your TM matches are prioritized and that the MT does not overwrite them.  

By following these steps, you should be able to see your TM matches more prominently and still access fragment matches without them being overridden by MT results. If you continue to experience issues, please double-check the settings and consider creating a new Project TM specifically for this task.

I have followed these steps, but I still get "exact match found (no fragment search performed)" in the fragment matches window.
