Description pugorg 2023-06-27 18:22:45 UTC
It makes a big difference if a search matches only on the source string (msgid/to translate from) or the target string (msgstr/to translate to).
A nice to have would be to combine both, e.g. "source:house and not target:Haus" (example in Weblate syntax for English to German).

Is this for the ‘Quick search’ feature or the ‘Find’ feature? Note that for the quick search feature, you *can* choose to limit the search to either the source or target colum (‘Options’ button → ‘Searchable column’).

Dear Karl Ove, it is for the Find feature (Ctrl+F). If it is already implemented elsewhere, it could to be not too complicated to replicate it in the requested feature.
