摘要：S EARCH AND RESEARCH are closely interwoven, but there is always a fundamental distinction between them. Research has as its object the exploration of uncharted fields, while search leads only into domains previously explored. We all know that many a search wrongly assumes the name of research, when the work reported has hardly shown evidence of even a thorough survey of a subject, and has no trace of the original thought so essential to any project dignified by the name research. Search has many uses; through it is made the compilations of information available in the literature, the resumes of known investigations, the summing up of our knowledge which is one of the main functions of a library.
