What can you do?

  1. Enter the search term into the Term field.

    OR click the dropdown, and select the check boxes for the term bases you want to search. The top two - Check all term bases and Uncheck all term bases select or clear all check boxes.

  3. Change search type:

    • By default, Qterm uses the Begins with setting and looks for terms beginning with the search phrase.
    • To search phrase also inside words, choose the Contains setting.
    • To find only whole words matching the search phrase, choose Exact match.

  4. Search for a term even if you know only a part of it: Use the asterisk (*) as a wildcard character in searches. You can see an example of it in the search bar text: apple, or appl* if you need a wildcard.

    The asterisk represents any character(s) in the term. You can use:

    • One asterisk like in "Ministry*Services" if you’re looking for “Ministry of Transport Services” or “Ministry of Financial Services”.

    • Multiple asterisks like in “French*Ministry*Services” if you’re looking for “French Foreign Ministry of Transport Services” or “French Finance Ministry of Accounting Services”.

    To use this option make sure to enter at least 2 characters between any special character and * in the Term field. For example, [xx* will work, [x* won't.

  5. Qterm displays two languages at a time. Select the first language (required) from the Language dropdown.

    Optionally, select the second language from the Second language dropdown.
