quickTerm internally logs all unsuccessful searches. Since many unsuccessful searches are caused by errors such as typos or searching in the wrong source language, two threshold values may be set: one for the logging process itself and one for an automatic term request.

This allows on the one hand for a minimum number of unsuccessful searches to be reached before the search term appears in the list of logged terms.

On the other hand, an automatic term request can be configured. For example, the system can be configured so that once a term has been searched for 25 times without success, a term request is automatically submitted to the terminologist. The content of this automatic term request can also be defined (apart from the actual term itself).
