AutoSearch function?

I am not sure I understand your question. Are you looking for AutoSearch boxes or you do not get any suggestions from previous translation? Please check whether you have set your memories (Project-Properties-Databases).

In Trados placeholder123 displays but is externalised so the translator knows this is a variable.
Normally, so shoud DVX, as an "embedded code", like {342}. Could it be you have "Hide embedded codes" activated? You can find that under Tools - Options - Enironment, 4th option from the bottom.
If this does not solve it, let me ask you how the placeholder looks like in the source file? What format does the source file have anyway? Maybe you could then replace the placeholder by something better recognizable and change it back to the original placeholder after translation.
