Search language assets

Search across term bases and translation memories for matching language assets.

Search behavior:

• Translation memories: returns only 100% (exact) and 101% (in-context) matches. No fuzzy, wildcard, or sub-segment matching is supported.
• Term bases: returns only approved terms matching the search text. No wildcard or partial matching.

Request limits:

• Max 50 queries per request, each up to 1000 characters.
• Up to 100 translation memories and 100 term bases are searched.
• Up to 10 TM matches returned per query text.
• Optional clientId restricts to assets assigned to that client (or unassigned).

Execution:

• TM and TB searches run in parallel with a 20-second timeout.
• Partial results are returned if one search times out or fails.
• Check metadata.tmSearchStatus / metadata.tbSearchStatus (COMPLETED, TIMED_OUT, FAILED).
• Returns HTTP 503 when the service is under heavy load.
