I'm currently trying out Wordfast Classic 7.3 in demo mode. Everything is working fine and I really like it except for one awkward issue: it's not finding any matches from the BTM, even 100% matches.
I can, however, find them using the concordance search. I've reorganised the BTM to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you, Mike

First question (sorry, I have to ask this): how many segments are in your BTM?

And while we're at it, did you try it with the previous version of WFC and did you experience the same problem?

Thank you Samuel May 29, 2019

Much appreciated: it's a big BTM with about 7000 entries, and no, I didn't have this issue with older versions of Wordfast.

Well, if older demo versions worked with a BTM of 7000 TUs, then you were just lucky. The demo version is typically limited to something less than 7000 TUs (although the developer had admitted that it is not always a hard limit, depending on various factors). The demo limit of 1000 TUs usually apply per TM (so a BTM of 900 segments along with an active TM of 900 segments should still be within the demo's limits).
