How do I use the "Find" feature, so that it continues searching from the segment I stopped?

The "Find" feature in 2015 and 2017 won't continue searching from the segment I stopped to make a correction. It goes back to the beginning of the document, every time I correct a segment.

For example, in a text of 1500 segments:

1) Click CTRL + Find, to search for the word "tutor" in the source.

3) The Find feature stops at the first occurrence of the word e.g. seg. 57. 

4) I fix the error in seg. 57 and hit again "Next" to continue searching the text for the same word.

5) Studio instead of keep searching from seg 57 onwards, it goes back to seg 1 and starts searching again from the beginning of the doc.

Thank you,

  • I know what you mean. It is a very upsetting thing. I don't understand why not more people complain about this, and why Trados does not fix this. I don't know of any other program that does this, that is, going back to start each time we mend an entry and want to go to the next.

  • I can't reproduce this at all... can you create a short video and show us what you're doing and what's happening?

    This is what I'm seeing:

  • Well, sometimes works ok, if you search either by source or by target, but lots of times when you search by source and correct the target entry and press the Find Next button, it goes back to the beginning (I couldn't repeat this now, I don't know why).
    But another abnormal thing is: say you search by source and change say 6 entries in target. Then you change your mind and want to change back to the original translation, so you go back and select the 1st or 2nd segment and click Find Next.
    Instead of going to the 1st occurrence, It goes to the 7th occurrence (which it is translated as you want now, so nothing to do here) and not to the 1st occurrence (that you want to change back as it was before, as you want also to change the 2nd to 6th occurrences).
    To go back to the 1st occurrence, we must keep on clicking Find Next until it reaches the end of the document, and only then goes back to the 1st occurrence.
    Actually, you don't even need to change  anything. Try searching for a word by source and go until the 6th or 7th occurrence found. Then go back to the beginning (1st or 2nd segment) and click Find next. It goes not to the first segment after your segment at the beginning, but it goes to the segment after the last segment found.
    Sorry to insist, but this is the only program where sometimes when I click Find next, it will not go to the next segment after the present segment, it might go either to the beginning of the document or to a segment further away.
    And this has happened ever, since the first edition of Studio. I would like to find the next occurrence without any tricks, just like in any other program.

  • To go back to the 1st occurrence, we must keep on clicking Find Next until it reaches the end of the document, and only then goes back to the 1st occurrence.

    Or close the search and start again. It sounds a little as though sometimes you want it to search from the start and other times you don't.  So in this case you need to let Studio know this and it seems logical t me that you would start the search again since it's remembering where you got to otherwise... or put the cursor at the start of the file.

    If you don't agree it would be really helpful if you created a short video to explain what's happening and why it's not acceptable for you.
