search function in Trados Studio 2019 barely working these days

Hi everyone,
For a few weeks now I have the problem that the search function in Trados Studio 2019 is working miserably both for source and target.
I´d say 80% of the time almost it does not find a single instance of a search term I´m absolutely sure is in the text.
Is it just me or is someone else also experiencing this. For all the years I have used Trados before it worked perfectly and found everything I was searching for.

filter

Sorry if this is far too obvious but as a workaround I would suggest filtering by the term rather than searching for it.

Hi James

Many thanks for your reply.
That might possibly be an option. But that way all the segments not containing the term are hidden, which is not good for seeing the text in its flowing order. For context reasons I´d prefer to see all the segments.

Uncheck all boxes

Make sure you look in the current document and no boxes checked that may narrow down the scope of your search.

Hi Manuela
I would just paste the text into Word. The easiest way is position the cursor at the start of the first segment and press Ctrl+Shift+End to select all the target text. Then copy and paste.

Hi Stepan

That seems to have done the trick.
Who knows why somehow by accident I ticked one of those boxes. So simple....I really need a holiday I think
Many thanks
