Source and target segments text within all or selected non-archived projects is searchable by clicking on Search across projects at the top of the project list. The search across projects functionality is enabled only for Project managers and Administrators.

In the Content search page, use the Find segments section to search for plain text or regexp in the selected projects. Wildcard search is also supported except for quotes " ", which enables finding empty segments. Select the IS operator from the dropdown to look for content that exactly matches whole segments.

To refine the search by selecting additional criteria, expand the Advanced options section at the bottom. If using advanced search options, the available fields are not filtered according to other filters already applied as search criteria; multiple filters can be combined.

Searches are performed only within segments from the last completed workflow step of a project. All previous workflow steps of the project must be either completed or cancelled.

    1. Translation workflow step, set as completed.

When searching across multiple projects, click on Stop search at the top right to stop the search as soon as required results are being displayed. Select an item in the result list to show more information about the segment in the right sidebar.

Target text found in confirmed segments is editable: double click on it or use the pencil icon to edit the segment and automatically propagate the changes to any related TMs. Editing is enabled only for confirmed segments in the last workflow step of a project; changes are not propagated to previous workflow steps.
