    Question improvement suggestion: Provide specific details about the visibility issue, such as what colors or font settings you have already tried, and clarify if you are looking for a solution within Trados Studio or through external means.  

    In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question:  

    Hello!  

    To enhance the visibility of searched terms in Trados Studio 2024 SR1, you can follow these steps:  

    **Step 1:** Check the 'Term Recognition' tab to ensure that terms are being automatically recognized and highlighted in your source text. This is the primary method for seeing terms highlighted.  

    **Step 2:** Unfortunately, Trados Studio does not currently allow for customization of text colors or font settings directly within the application for highlighting search results. However, you can adjust the background and font colors for changes in the Translation Results window by navigating to **File > Options > Editor > Translation Results Window** and clicking on **Change...**.  

    **Step 3:** If you are working with Microsoft Word files, you can use the search and replace tool to apply color highlighting to specific terms after exporting your translation.  

    **Step 4:** Consider using the Integrated Search Views plugin, which allows for more powerful search capabilities and may help you find terms more effectively across multiple files and projects.  

    **Step 5:** Keep an eye on future updates, as RWS frequently enhances features based on user feedback, and improvements may be made regarding term visibility in upcoming releases.  

    I hope this answer addressed your question. If not, please reject the answer, add the question improvement suggestion information, and click the RWS Community AI checkbox on the right to try again.
