A quick definition of search:
Search: When police officers or investigators look for evidence of a crime in someone's home or car, it's called a search. They need permission from a judge or a good reason to do this. Sometimes, people also search for information about who owns a piece of land or a house, which is called a title search.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: To look for something by examining a place or records.
Police officers cannot search someone's property without a warrant or a good reason to believe that a crime has been committed and there is not enough time to get a warrant. For example, if they see someone running into a house with a gun, they can search the house without a warrant to make sure no one is in danger.
When someone wants to buy a house, they need to do a title search to make sure the person selling the house is the legal owner and there are no liens or other problems with the property.
The examples illustrate the two different meanings of the word "search." In the first example, it refers to a police officer looking for evidence of a crime. In the second example, it refers to someone looking for information about a property. Both examples show that searching involves looking for something specific and using a methodical approach to find it.
