# Termbase Search

SuperLookup’s **Termbases** tab searches your Supervertaler termbases for preferred terminology.

### Open it

* **In Supervertaler:** press `Ctrl+K` (or open the **SuperLookup** tab, or **Tools → SuperLookup**).
* **From any application:** press `Ctrl+Alt+L` (system-wide hotkey).

### How to search

1. Type (or paste) a term into the search box.
2. Press `Enter` (or click **Search**).
3. Optional filters:
   * **Direction:** Both / Source / Target
   * **From / To:** filter by termbase language pair (leave as **Any** to search across languages)

### What you’ll see

Results are shown in a table with:

* **Source**
* **Target**
* **Termbase** (termbase name)
* **Domain**
* **Notes**

The current search term is highlighted in the results.

### Actions

* **Double-click** a row to copy the translation.
* **Copy Translation** copies the selected target term.
* **Add to Termbase** opens a dialog to add a new term pair (you’ll be prompted to pick a writable termbase).

### Edit in Termbase (jump to the entry)

Right-click a result to open a context menu with:

* **Edit in Termbase: …**

This navigates to the **Termbases** tab, selects the termbase, and filters the terms list to the source term.

### Termbase selection

In **SuperLookup → Settings → Termbases**, you can pick which termbases SuperLookup searches.

:::note If you don’t select any termbases in the SuperLookup Settings tab, SuperLookup searches **all available** termbases. :::
