Hi,
I have a question about the concordance search in SDL Studio 2015. I find that it doesn´t always find results that I know are in the TM. For example, I had recently translated a word and when I wanted to look it up by doing a concordance search, studio couldn´t find it. I have updated the memory and all the settings should be fine (fuzzy 70, minimum 30). What is the reason for this?
Best regards,
Linn
Hi Linn,
Most likely you are not looking in the right TM or you have not really updated it. Can you go back a few segments to the one you confirmed and see whether the whole segment is actually in your TM? Do you have these options all set?

ok - so "paksoi" is the source and "Pak Choy" is the target? Perhaps your problem is that you are searching in the target for the source term, which it won't be able to find of course. Make sure you have the correct search location located:
Also note that there are various shortcuts you can use:
F3 - search selected source phrase in the source, or selected target phrase in the target
Ctrl+Shift+F3 - target concordance search from anywhere
Ctrl+F3 - source concordance search from anywhere

Just to wrap this up. The problem was that the words in the TM were actually these:
Paksoita
Shanghaipaksoita
Paksoipaistosta
This means you definitely need to make sure that the concordance value is less than 100%... probably quite a bit lower. If I use 70% I find this with concordance:
The others will have too low a fuzzy value to be found. So options to find these would be:
1. Use Ctrl+F and just search the source which will find the previous examples in the text you have open no matter how long the words are, and
2. Make more use of a Termbase and add these terms as you work
