  2. Open a document for editing.
  3. In the translation editor, select the word or phrase to search for.
  4. Press Ctrl+F3.

    The memoQ web search window opens.

What can you do?

ClosedWhen you open memoQ web search for the first time: Set it up

When you press Ctrl+F3 for the first time, memoQ web search will look like this:

  1. To set it up, click the cogwheel icon next to the Search button.
  2. The Options window opens, with the Default resources pane. It will jump directly to the Web search settings tab.
  3. Check the check box of the Web search settings profile you want to use (or create a new one). This will be the search profile you will use in memoQ from this point on.

    A Web search settings profile tells memoQ which web sites to search, and how to do it.

  4. Select it, then click Edit.
  5. The Web search settings window opens. You can set up the search providers (web pages) there.

    To learn more: See Help about the Web search settings window.

The memoQ web search window is similar to a web browser, where all the search pages are open in separate tabs.
