Portuguese term

pesquisa/busca

Portuguese to English Tech/Engineering Internet, e-Commerce
Hello. I typically translate both of these terms as "search", however I am faced with a dilemma in my current translation, in that it specifically requires a separate translation for each word, in order to differentiate between them:
"Pesquisa, busca e download;
Pesquisar os diferentes programas de download, fazendo uso de ferramentas de busca;
Diferenciar busca de pesquisa, tendo como exercício base uma pesquisa sobre história da internet;".

I had thought of using "research" for "pesquisa", but it doesn't seem right. Any suggestions would be great, thanks in advance :)

Hi Douglas, I can't do that in this case, the text is very specific. This is part of a lesson plan that specifically instructs the teacher to differentiate between the two terms, as part of an exercise.

If you don't feel comfortable with "Research", which is the technically correct answer, maybe the word 'browse' fits here.

'Browse' is a little less intense than "research", but still applicable.

An idea for you:)

Research different applications designed to help remediate software vulnerabilities. I’ve relied on a cocktail of anti-virus and almost anything with the word ‘doctor’ in it – Spyware doctor, Software doctor

"Diferenciar busca de pesquisa" - not sure about that one. Perhaps 'Differentiate search queries."
