Search results in results
- "Term has X search results"
- "A search for term has X results*
- "A search for term resulted in X results"
Is anyone else confused by this? A "search" generally "results" in something, but lacking an alternative to "results" (like "items" or "records") you end up with duplicity (#3). No. 2, the alternative, has "search" "contain" the results, which isn't more correct. What do you think?
“Seek and ye shall find”
Mathew 7:7 KJV

solves a self-inflicted problem.
