⚠️ The trap
'Ricerca' means research but also any kind of search (a Google search, searching for something). English 'research' only means systematic investigation. In Italian you can 'fare una ricerca' for a quick internet search.
To say "systematic investigation" in Italian:
ricerca (true cognate — but also = search/lookup)
"ricerca" in English means:
research; search (online or physical)
Example
"Fai una ricerca su Google."
"Do a Google search."
