| Nov 13, 2015 at 7:36 | comment | added | user66974 | I think you mean research: The systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions. oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/research | |
| Nov 13, 2015 at 7:34 | comment | added | anongoodnurse | No, that is not a common word in English. The corresponding word in English is "research" or possibly "results". One doesn't ask for a recherché in English. | |
| Nov 13, 2015 at 7:33 | comment | added | Sven Yargs | When I lived in Calgary, Alberta, in 1970–1972, sportscasters covering Calgary Stampeders football games in the CFL would use the term résumé to describe what a U.S. announcer would have called a recap, which is essentially a summary of the scoring and other highlights of the game. But I've never heard anyone in anglophone Canada or the United States use recherché to refer to a summary. | |
