Unable to search and find a single word being part of a sentence in glossary.

Topic: Unable to search and find a single word being part of a sentence in glossary.
Poster: Dubin

Hello,

I'm starting to use Wordfast Classic, just with glossaries.
I don't use memory translations, because I don't have never the source texts in digital format.

So, I'm not interested in MT, I just need to add terms, now and then, to my glossaries, and also now and then, to search for some words or terms in the same glossaries.

I used to do this without Wordfast, using Excel glossaries.
I thought I could have a try with Wordfast, because is quicker to add terms into glossaries and I don't have to quit Microsoft Word and go to Excel to write the term.

But there's a big problem. I'll try to explain it with an example:
For instance, I have this Spanish source text an English target text in my glossary:
"Régimen Especial de Trabajadores por Cuenta Propia o Autónomos":
"Special Scheme for Sole Traders or Self-Employed workers"

Now, if I want to search only for the word "autónomos", because I remember that I've already translated that word, and I look for the word using Wordfast, there's no way to find that sentence in the txt glossary.
But if I look for that word directly in the txt or in the excel glossary, I find it easily and I can use the translation after reading that "autónomos" in English is "Self-Employed workers"

My question is:
Is there a way in Wordfast to search and find a single word that is part of a long sentence in a glossary?

If the answer is no, I think I'll have to continue using my Excel glossaries out of Wordfast.
Because the thing is I can't find any CAT tool or Microsoft Word add-in that I could use with a glossary and search and find single words in glossaries.

Thank you in advance.
