The term "research" originally came from the French word "recerche", not from "re search", as in "search again". It's more like, "search closely". Here's an excerpt on this:
1577, "act of searching closely," from M.Fr. recerche (1539), from O.Fr. recercher "seek out, search closely," from re-, intensive prefix, + cercher "to seek for" (see search). Meaning "scientific inquiry" is first attested 1639. Phrase research and development is recorded from 1923.

When you are searching and find something, you already have the subject you are researching. It's like you can't think 'think', because once you think it, it is already a thought.

Etymology: Middle French recerche, from recercher to go about seeking, from Old French recerchier, from re- + cerchier, sercher to search
While re- is a prefix meaning again, you can't say every time you see those two letters it's a prefix..what about resin? remorse? red? rely? regolith?
But in a way we are searching again...someone else has already discovered it and we're just going to find it again, as opposed to discovery.

When one has finished the research,and is successful, it is called a Discovery
There is nothing 'new' under the sun.
