<< review queue entry 66922 - submitted by 'michaelchen' >> The direct object of 搜索 can either be either a place to search or something to search for, though the latter seems much more common. Examples from LINE: 巨大的探照灯正搜索着天空。 jùdà de tànzhàodēng zhèng sōusuŏ zhe tiānkōng 。 Big searchlights are searching the sky. 派飞机去搜索幸存者。 pài fēijī qù sōusuŏ xìngcúnzhĕ A plane was detached to search for survivors. 搜索baidu吧。 Sōusuǒ baidu ba. Look it up on Baidu. --------------------------------- Editor: 1) OK, let's have "to search for" as well as "to search". Another example: 在网上可以快速搜索到最新的新闻、... 2) Re: "to search (a place, search engine, etc)" In particular, the 2nd part: "to search a search engine". That's presumably intended to cover expressions like 搜索baidu吧。 But people don't search search engines for sth; they search *on* search engines. (Like your example says "... on Baidu.") So you would need to reword the definition -- e.g. "to search (a place); to search on (a search engine)". However, I think "to search (a database)" covers that sort of thing just fine. "Look it up on Baidu" can be regarded as shorthand for "Look it up on Baidu's database of webpages." Here's another example for "search (a database)" 想找书很容易，你可以按书名或作者搜索，也可以按价格搜索。 |
