Advanced searches

To make a more precise search, there are a couple of search options:

  • em:for exact match

  • ew: for exact words

  • terms:to search only in the terms

  • translations:to search only in the translations

 

For instance, combining ew: translation: will help to find a specific word in all translations before replacing it.

A few examples:

terms: lock

Strings containing “lock” only in terms.

Results also include Strings containing “locking”, locks”, “locked”, etc

em: lock

Strings containing only “lock”.

The whole string is “lock”.

ew: lock

Strings containing the word “lock”.

ew: translation: lock

Strings containing the word “lock” only in translation.
