Search in multiple memories without opening them Initiator des Themas: Ramunas Kontrimas

I wonder if it is possible in Trados Studio 2017: to search in multiple memories without opening them.
I only need to find out if the word is present in any of them, then I would open the memory to see in detail.
Thanks

| What do you mean by 'opening'? | Jun 21, 2020 |
You don't need to open the memories in Trados Studio, but you will have to indicate which memories you wish to be searched. I am not sure if that is what you mean by 'opening' already.
Good luck,
Ruth

Say, I want to search in 20 memories. I can create a project with them and search with F3 or open each memory in TM View window. Neither is quick. Is there any other way?

I know of no way to do this within Trados itself (but then, I'm no expert). However, if you need to do this frequently, and you don't mind a bit of preparation, you can convert them all to TMX (w.g.Van Nellen's tool) and then use a file search utility to search the TMX files (e.g. Agent Ransack).
In fact, I have been able to search SDLTM files using Agent Ransack: just put them all in one folder, and then perform a search. This way, you can see in which file your term is. I'm not sure if all SDLTM files can be searched this way.

Hi Stepan,
No, sorry, I haven't tried Nora's procedure.
If it doesn't work, I believe you need to rebuild the search index. To do so, follow these steps for Windows 10:
1. Visit the classic Windows 7-style Control Panel
2. Search for and select Indexing Options
3. Select the Advanced option
4. Select Rebuild

P S: You may need to add the location of your TMs before rebuilding. I hope it helps. ▲ Collapse

"TMLookup"
You have to do some homework first, exporting your SDLTMs to TMX and import these TMX into TMLookup.

What is "your tool"?
The question was how to find a word without opening the TM. You suggest some third party scripts, Excel ("it makes MS Excel file"), AutoHotkey source code, extract TM...
Are you sure you understand the question?
