Searching for Business Terms
The business term search function enables you to search a selected glossary and its subcontexts for the names of business terms and acronyms. In multi-language environments, the function searches both the work language and the default language.
If you have metaGlossary installed, an advanced search also is available, which provides additional search parameters. For details, see Searching Business Terms.
