| Please provide more details | Feb 5, 2013 |
Hello Karina,
Would you mind providing me with a few more details? What word(s) are you searching? What search parameters are you selecting? What browser type and version are you using? This will help me to look into this further. Thanks!
Lucia

Dear Kim,
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. You should be able to find the term using the term search tool now.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
Best regards,
Alejandro

Hi Guys,
I have noticed that while using this function i need to shift to the new search each time i enter Proz. That is a time waster. Is there any way i can use the New Search as standard option so i don't have to select it each time i need to search for a word?
Also it's been a long time that when i access the term search and search for a term, the first time i insert the term to be searched i get no results and the search field is automatically emptied. I need to in... See more Hi Guys,

Thanks in advance for any help. ▲ Collapse

| Possible cache issue | Mar 11, 2013 |
Hello Enrico,
What you describe sounds like a cache issue because, currently, whenever anyone visits the "Term search" page, they should be shown the new Term search by default (with the option of going back to the old version). I suggest you try overriding, or removing, your cache while on the Term search page and then search again. Make sure you select the option "Search and save settings" when doing so.
If this doesn't fix the problem, I suggest you try with a differ... See more Hello Enrico,

If this doesn't fix the problem, I suggest you try with a different browser such as Mozilla Firefox.
Let me know how it goes.

Hello again, Enrico.
I just checked with developers and they informed me that the old version of the Term search is still the default one (my apologies for the misunderstanding). For the new version to be saved as a preference, you simply need to confirm that cookies are enabled in your browser when clicking on "Try the new ProZ.com term search". Please try this out and let me know how that works.
Again, my apologies.

Dear Kim,
The question you link was asked under English to German so, in order to find it with a search under German to English, you must check the search option "Also search reverse language pair".
Hope this explains! Please let me know if you have any question.
Best regards,
Alejandro

| A filter for personal glossaries? | Mar 29, 2013 |
I'd like to know if there is any support from colleagues for a way to filter out personal glossaries when doing a KudoZ term search. I can imagine there's no problem in most language pairs, but in German English it has become a problem. I use the glossary all the time when doing my translations and like to do my searches as quickly as possible. Several months ago I started noticing an astonishing number of entries from one member in particular. Just now I entered a very common German term for "...

Several months ago I started noticing an astonishing number of entries from one member in particular. Just now I entered a very common German term for "deviation" and was amazed to find the first five pages were translations from one member's personal glossaries. They're not bad translations, but I have to click on "next page" 6 times to get to actual KudoZ terms answered by users/members. What do you think? ▲ Collapse

Dear Kim,
You can choose to filter personal glossaries from term search results by clicking on "Advanced options" and unchecking the box that says "Personal glossaries" in the "Resources to search" section.
Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Best regards,
Maria

Yes, thank you. I also see that it's possible to "separate results by resource"

| Collection of list of non-found search terms - dictionary | Apr 4, 2013 |
Hi there...
This is more of a suggestion for improvement, but would like to hear other opinions too...
As you probably all know sometimes (!#") a translator is under time-pressure and will have to make a quick decision.
When I cannot find a search term I do not always have time to make a query. In these cases it would be great if the platform automatically harvested the non-found search term and perhaps made a separate list that would be available for late... See more Hi there...

Kudos points could be awarded for adding translations of such terms and gradually we can build a better dictionary/lookup function...
Any thoughts on this?
