If you want to find a term in a language other than the current source language, then select the desired source language from the dropdown in the Source field.

You can also limit the results shown to one target language.
Click the box beside Target above the result pane and choose the desired target language. If you would like all languages to be displayed, choose All languages in the Target box.
To specify how much term information is shown for each language in the dictionary:
Click on Custom view and choose which languages should be shown along with the level of detail you want for each language (i.e. the term only or all term information).

Using one of the Select all links, you can choose to show all language terms expanded or collapsed or hide all languages. Please note that the term in focus will always be displayed expanded (with maximum term information as defined by the view applied to the user’s group). Then choose Custom from the Target dropdown.

If you (are authorized and) would like to display the concept’s history (information about when and by whom the term record was created and changed), click (previously Settings) and check the Show history box. Deselect the Show history checkbox when you want to hide the information. If you would like another date format displayed (the default is the ISO format YYYY-MM-DD), click the cogwheel icon Show dates as dropdown.

Then, in the example, date fields as well creation date and change date metadata will be displayed in the selected date format:

A dictionary is a large part of the database that contains a limited number of languages and fields.

Choose the main dictionary to use in the Dictionary selector. The term list is updated with the terms from selected dictionary.

A dictionary can contain a number of sections with various types of terms and phrases. For instance, there might be a section with terms that are still being worked on, one with abbreviations and acronyms or one with approved terms that are standard in various languages.

You can choose to show terms from one or more of the sections:

If there are more than one dictionary available, you can select one or more dictionaries (besides the main dictionary selected in the Dictionary drop-down) to search in. These are referred to as additional dictionaries and are also selected in the same window as sections.

Searching in additional dictionaries has some limitations compared to main dictionary searching:

When a concept from an additional dictionary is displayed, a message is displayed at the top of the result window with a link for setting the concept’s dictionary as main dictionary. This provides a quick way of changing the main dictionary if you for example want to edit the concept. The previous selected main dictionary is automatically selected as additional dictionary when this link is used.

If you change the main dictionary using the Dictionary drop-down the previous main dictionary is not selected as additional dictionary.

To find a term in a language other than the present source language, click the box beside Source at the top lefthand side of the page and select the desired source language.

First choose the dictionary. See What is a dictionary.
If you want to limit the search to certain sections in the dictionary, begin by choosing the desired sections. See the page entitled What is a section?
Select the language of the term you want to find. If you want to search for a term in Spanish, for example, then select Spanish from the Source dropdown.+ Then type the search string in the field beside Search.
If you want to limit the search to a certain domain or subdomain, click Domain search under the search field and select the domain(s). See also the section entitled Show a particular domain or subdomain.

You can use asterisks (*) and question marks (?) to perform a wildcard search.

Example 1: Type dog* and click Search.
A list of all the terms beginning with "dog" will be shown.

Example 2: Type * dog* and click Search.
A list of all the terms that contain the text string "dog" will be shown.

Example 3: Type *synchroni?ation* and click Search.
A list of all the terms that contain the text string "synchroni", followed by one character and the text string "ation" will be shown, e.g. "synchronization", "synchronisation", and flywheel synchronization circuit.

Example 4: Type ???ing and click Search.
A list of terms starting with three characters and ending with the string "ing" will be shown, e.g. coding, curing, O-ring, and string.

If you want to limit the search to a certain domain or subdomain, click Domain search under the search field and select the domain(s)

The terms in a dictionary and its sections can be classified according to the subjects to which they apply, i.e. their domains, such as DATA PROCESSING or BUSINESS & ADMINIST.
If you want to only show terms from a single domain or subdomain:

You can always see which domains and subdomains you have chosen under the heading Selected domains above the result window.

Click on the blue arrows at the bottom of the term list to move forward and backward.

Click the term you want to see in the term list.
The term and all of its detailed information will be shown at the top of the result window.

The Search settings window is displayed by pressing the Open Search settings button, shown as a square button with three horizontal lines, immediately right of the Search bar.

Select the checkbox next to the search feature you wish to use, select the criteria you wish to use and click the Apply button to submit the search criteria on the terms in the term list. If you click on the Cancel button, any changes to the settings will be lost.

When any of the advanced search options are enabled, the Search settings button will appear with an asterisk in the top-right corner.

The Domain search feature will only appear if the selected dictionary has the Domains feature enabled. To enable this feature, an Administrator need to add at least one domain to the dictionary via the Terminology > Domains page.

The Filters menu shows all available filters to the user, whether they are created by the user themself or shared to a User group the user belongs to. The menu will also show the number of Concepts that fulfill the filter criteria.

The Multi-field search option will allow the user to search for character strings in specific fields in addition to the Term name. Click Apply after selecting which fields to search, then use the normal Search bar for your searches.

If you click on Select all, all checkboxes listed immediately below will be enabled.

All terms that matches the search expression in any of the selected fields will be displayed in the term list. The matches depend to some extent of the type of fields selected. For text fields, a search is made for all entries that contain the given search expression. If the field is numeric, e.g., the Concept ID field, an exact match is attempted. If the field is a picklist, the search text must match one of the defined values in the picklist exactly.

All matches are case-insensitive.

If you select term level fields, this will return all terms in the selected source language for every concept that contains at least one term in the current source language and has a field that matches the search expression.

When using multi-field search, it is not possible to use wildcards. Searching for legal* will try to match the literal value legal* with the values in the fields.

Check the Enable fuzzy search checkbox to enable fuzzy search. You will then be able to search for terms even if you do not remember the exact spelling.

Select this checkbox if you do not want to keep the search string when you change Source language. If you want to search for the same string after having changed Source language, please deselect this checkbox.

This option applies to wildcard searching only. If you select this option, characters with the same function but stored differently, as single-byte or double-byte characters, will be considered equal during filtering and term list sorting.

If the option is selected, the normalized value will be used in filter criteria and thus filters can return results for both single-byte and double-byte characters. Also, normalized values are used when calculating the term list order so that both single-byte and double-byte characters are considered equally during term indexing.

For example: converts compatibility characters into standard equivalents:

Combines characters into canonical forms, for example:

What normalization does with German letters:

These are not ligatures in Unicode terms, so normalization leaves them as-is.

The Duplicate search feature will show all terms in the Term list that have; character for character matches, within the same language, across all Sections in the dictionary to be displayed in the Term list.

You can create a temporary filter called Quick filter.

To create a temporary Quick filter:
