    Research \Re*search"\ (r?-s?rch"), n. [Pref. re- + search: cf
    OF. recerche, F. recherche.]
    1. Diligent inquiry or examination in seeking facts or
    principles; laborious or continued search after truth; as,
    researches of human wisdom; to research a topic in the
    library; medical research.

    The dearest interests of parties have frequently
    been staked on the results of the researches of
    antiquaries. --Macaulay.

    2. Systematic observation of phenomena for the purpose of
    learning new facts or testing the application of theories
    to known facts; -- also called {scientific research}. This
    is the research part of the phrase ``research and
    development'' (R&D).

    Note: The distinctive characteristic of scientific research
    is the maintenance of records and careful control or
    observation of conditions under which the phenomena are
    studied so that others will be able to reproduce the
    observations. When the person conducting the research
    varies the conditions beforehand in order to test
    directly the effects of changing conditions on the
    results of the observation, such investigation is
    called {experimental research} or {experimentation} or
    {experimental science}; it is often conducted in a
    laboratory. If the investigation is conducted with a
    view to obtaining information directly useful in
    producing objects with commercial or practical utility,
    the research is called {applied research}.
    Investigation conducted for the primary purpose of
    discovering new facts about natural phenomena, or to
    elaborate or test theories about natural phenomena, is
    called {basic research} or {fundamental research}.
    Research in fields such as astronomy, in which the
    phenomena to be observed cannot be controlled by the
    experimenter, is called {observational research}.
    {Epidemiological research} is a type of observational
    research in which the researcher applies statistical
    methods to analyse patterns of occurrence of disease
    and its association with other phenomena within a
    population, with a view to understanding the origins or
    mode of transmission of the disease.
    [PJC]
