§Grammar and usage

The noun research is usually uncountable ('a lot of research', 'a piece of research', not 'researches' in most uses).

यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: noun research प्रायः uncountable है ('a lot of research', 'a piece of research', अधिकांश प्रयोगों में 'researches' नहीं)।

Research into or on sth ('research into cancer').

Usage: 'research into या on sth' (किसी विषय पर शोध), जैसे 'research into cancer'। ध्यान रहे कि 'research' आम तौर पर uncountable noun है, इसलिए 'researches' नहीं बोलते।
