Excluding TMs from concordance search

It would be very convenient to specify TMs where concordance searches the terms. According to help, concordance looks for words in TMs and LiveDocs. In my projects, some TMs are less reliable and it would be good to exclude them from the scope of search. Sorting segments by TMs is not a good solution.
Maybe, are there some workarounds or some advanced adjustments for tackling the problem?

Penalise the memories Jan 4

If you have TMs that you do not want to use at all, you can always disable them in the list of memories. If you cannot do that, you can penalise the memories by creating a new TM setting set in the Settings area of your project.

Copy the names of the memories and add them with a reasonable penalty based upon how desirable each of them is.

I use this very frequently with TMs with poor quality supplied by clients.

I also frequently use TM penalties, it is very convenient. However, it is about another feature: a TM should be among active TMs, but excluded from Concordance.

That's silly of them. I think everyone's input is equally valid.
