Searching


Definition:

  • (p. pr. & vb. n.) of Search
  • (a.) Exploring thoroughly; scrutinizing; penetrating; trying; as, a searching discourse; a searching eye.

Example Sentences:

  • (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.
