Quick find (in translations)

In the Find what dropdown, type the text you are looking for. Or, expand the dropdown, and choose an expression from previous searches. (When you close memoQ, this list is cleared.)

To run a case-sensitive search: Click the Case sensitive icon.

You can tell memoQ what counts as a match: whether it should look for entire words only, or it should match the entire segment. To see these options, click this icon:

• Return any matches: Find the Find what expression, even if it's just part of a word.
• Match whole words only: The Find what expression will be found only if whole words look like the expression.
• Entire segment/field: The Find what expression will be found only if the entire segment (or comment) is the same as the expression.

To use regular expressions: Click the regex mode switch icon. If you need assistance, open the Regex Assistant: Click the icon on the right, and create a regex, or choose one from the regex library. Copy it, then switch back to this window, and paste your regex into the Find what text box. Do the same with the Replace with text box if needed.

If you are not using the Regex Assistant, and there is a problem with your regular expression, memoQ displays an exclamation mark next to the Find what box when you click one of the Find buttons. To learn more, click the exclamation mark: The Regular expressions help page opens.

In the Replace with dropdown, type the text that will replace the Find what text. Or, expand the dropdown, and choose an expression from previous replacements. (When you close memoQ, this list is cleared.)

Regular expressions: If you search for regular expressions, you can include the matching variables in the Replace box, too. Type $1 for the first recognized chunk; $2 for the second one; and so on. You can use these if you are in regex mode, and there are replaceable groups (for example, (^s+)) in the Find what box. To learn more, see the Regular expressions help page.

To find the Find what expression, press Enter.

If there are two or more matches, you can jump to the others: Click the Find next icon. You can repeat this as long as the document is open.

To get a list of all matches on a separate document tab, click the Find all icon. The Find and replace results tab opens.

To highlight the search results within the segments: Click the Highlight all matches  icon. memoQ puts yellow highlighting on the segment parts that match the search phrase. To remove the highlighting: Click the Clear highlighted matches  icon.

To replace the Find what expression with the Replace with expression, click the Replace this icon. You can repeat this as long as the document is open.

To replace the Find what expression everywhere in the document, click the Replace all icon.

Caution: If you leave the Replace with box empty, and click Replace all , memoQ will delete all occurrences of the Find what expression.
