What's the difference between foraging and searching?
Foraging
Definition:
(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Forage
Example Sentences:

(15) Since there exist transitory forms between diametrically opposite manifestations of such behavior, possibly the process of individual acquirement of capabilities necessary for fulfilling foraging function occurs.
(16) Comparisons of these ancient Sri Lankans with other prehistoric skeletal series from South Asia and elsewhere support the hypothesis that muscular-skeletal robusticity was a significant physical adaptation of earlier hunting-foraging populations.
(17) In grass tetany, the animals generally are grazing cool-season forages in which Mg concentration or bioavailability of plant Mg is low.

(19) Four crossbred wether lambs (38 kg) with permanent ruminal and abomasal cannulae were used in a 4 X 4 Latin square arrangement of treatments to determine the effect of feeding frequency (FF) on forage fiber and N utilization.
(20) In Experiment 2, 17 mature Holstein cows were used in an identical design except that alfalfa haylage was used as the forage.
Searching
Definition:
(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Search
(a.) Exploring thoroughly; scrutinizing; penetrating; trying; as, a searching discourse; a searching eye.
Example Sentences:
(1) The obvious need for highly effective contraception in women with existing disorders of glucose metabolism has led to a search for oral contraceptive (OC) regimens for such women that are efficient but without unacceptable metabolic side effects.
(2) The stages of mourning involve cognitive learning of the reality of the loss; behaviours associated with mourning, such as searching, embody unlearning by extinction; finally, physiological concomitants of grief may influence unlearning by direct effects on neurotransmitters or neurohormones, such as cortisol, ACTH, or norepinephrine.
(3) The reference library used in the operation of a computerized search program indicates the closest matches in the reference library data with the IR spectrum of an unknown sample.
(4) Second, the unknown is searched against the database to find all materials with the same or similar element types; the results are kept in set 2.
(5) An efficient numerical algorithm based on the cyclic coordinate search method to solve the latter is explained.
(6) We were searching for spontaneous and positional nystagmus in 5 positions with open eyes in darkness and with closed eyes.
(7) It argues that much of the support of for-profits derives from American market ideology and the assumption that the search for profits leads to efficiency in production.
(8) Moreover, it allows the clinician to be alert towards findings which could be missed when not carefully searched for and which may be useful to raise or strengthen the suspicion of this disease.
(9) Leaders of Tory local government are preparing radical proposals for minimum 10% cuts in public spending in the search for savings.
(10) The most controversial part of the resolution is the stop and search powers.
(11) Twelve mutations were searched for using classical techniques of molecular biology in a total of 126 patients.
