You can search:

• In various language combinations
• Terms in a subject-specific part of the term base at two levels or the entire term base
• Segments in a subject-specific part of the data base at two levels

What is a search filter?

A search filter is a combination of criteria you choose for your search. Some criteria are "either/or", while others are "both/and".
The following options are available in the term base:

1. Private area and/or Public area
2. Subject-specific area or the entire term base
3. Language combination
4. Match type
  · Exact match
  · Begins with
  · Ends with
  · Contains
  · Fuzzy match
 
A search for terms gives a list of search results in the source language. Click one of the source terms in the term list in the Matching terms pane to view the target term(s), including descriptive field information, in the Term pane.
The following options are available in the translation memory:

1. Private area and/or Public area
2. Language combination
3. Subject-specific area
4. Match percentage

The search filter defines the part of the translation memory where the system searches for previously translated sentences.

When you are working in the term base, the search filter is integrated at the top of the page.

When you are working in the translation memory, the search filter is integrated in the toolbar in the dialog box at the bottom of the page.

What is a match?

There are various match levels in a search process:

• Exact match means that a term or a segment in the system is completely identical to the search text
• Fuzzy match means that the term base contains a translation of a term or segment that is similar to the search text. It is therefore up to you whether you wish to use the match or just a part of it

The speed of the search process depends solely on the speed of your computer and your Internet connection.

Searching the term base is generally faster than searching the translation memory. Likewise, an exact search is generally faster than a fuzzy search or a criteria search ("begins with", "ends with" or "contains").

All payments are based on the word count of the source text, and payment is only made for foreign-language words and if the match percentage is 50 or higher. 

The price per word is EUR 0.034. A 75 % match, for example, is paid with 75 % * EUR 0.034 = EUR 0.026 per word in the match in question.
