Usage options

Specifies how terms are searched from termbases.

Options	Description
Use country neutral terms when searching for a sublanguage	If checked, terminology also uses country-neutral languages when searches for a country-specific language. For example, you have an English (United States) column (language id "en-US") in the project. When terminology finds terms, it initially looks for terms with "en-US" language id. If no match is found, then the terminology also searches terms with "en" code. The default value is checked.
Use country-specific term when searching for the main language	This is similar to the above but is applies when searching for a country neutral language. If checked, terminology also uses country-specific languages when searching for a country neutral language. For example, you have an English column (language id "en") in the project. When terminology searches terms, it initially looks for translation with "en" language id. If no match is found, then the terminology also searches terms with "en-*" code such as "en-US," "en-GB," and "en-AU." The default value is checked.
Use terms of the same language but different country	This is an extension of Use country neutral terms when searching for a sublanguage option. If checked, terminology also uses terms belonging to the same language but different countries. For example, you have an English (United States) column (language id "en-US") in the project. When terminology searches terms, it initially looks for terms with "en-US" language id. If no match is found, then the terminology also searches terms with "en-*" code such as "en-GB" and "en-CA." The default value is checked.
Use case insensitive matching	If checked, case insensitive matching is used when searching for a matching term. The default value is checked.
Use reduced matching	If checked, reduced matching is used when searching for a matching term. The default value is checked.
Use stemming	If checked, also stems of the words are checked when finding terminology matches. Turning this off might make the terminology match process faster.

Maximum term length specifies the maximum term length in words. For example, if this is 3, then only terms of length between 1, 2, and 3 are checked. The default is 3. Terminology matching is done in the background, so it does not slow down the normal grid operation. However, if this value is very high, it might take too long for long strings to complete the terminology matching.
