Update to WebTranslateIt’s search engine
By Estelle on September 22, 2017
We just released an update to WebTranslateIt’s search engine.
The first thing you will notice is that the “Ignore Case” checkbox is now checked by default. It was previously off by default, mainly because case sensitivity only applied to regex searches.
It means that you can now run a basic search with case sensitivity turned on or off. This allows you to search for things more precisely.
Case sensitive results:
Case insensitive results:
We also changed how searching for Source or Target text works. It now searches for stand-alone words.
Here’s an example. On this project we have many segments containing air:
Now by default, searching for air on the source text will only list text containing the word air like MacBook Air, a fresh breath of air. Previously it would had also matched words containing air like Go to the repair shop.
If you’d like to use the old behavior and search for everything containing air then just tick the “regex search” box.
We really think that the new defaults will make searching for segments easier, while by using advanced options lets you search even more precisely. We hope you will like it. Thank you for using WebTranslateIt.
