I’ve read somewhere that both verbs ‘to make’ and ‘to do’ ca be used the noun ‘search’.
Is that true?
Thanl you in advance!

Make/perform a search of the premises.
‘Do’ can be heard informally from time to time, but it is not as appropriate.

Beeesneees,
“‘Do’ can be heard informally from time to time, but it is not appropriate.”
Is this sentence also valid without ‘as’?
Thanks.
It changes the meaning.
not as appropriate - there is still an element of appropriateness.
not appropriate - there is no element of appropriateness.
Thank you for your answer.
So we say “make a search” but for the noun “research” we say “do a research”. I’ve just read that somewhere and I want to make sure it’s correct.
Thank you again!
‘do research’, not ‘do a research’.
'search ’ and ‘research’ do not have the same meaning.
