able to be searched digitally
Able to be searched by a computer so you can quickly find words or information in it.
Patrón de uso:
[something] is searchable (by/with [tool])
Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes say *"it can search"* instead of *"it is searchable". Use *"searchable"* to describe documents, files, or systems that allow you to search inside them (e.g., *"a searchable file"*), and use *"search"* as a verb for the action (e.g., *"I can search the file"*). Another mistake is using *"researchable"* when they mean *"searchable"*; *"researchable"* means something can be studied in detail, not that a computer can search it.
