Keresésre

Keresésre is a Hungarian nominalized form formed from the noun keresés (the act of seeking or searching) with the suffix -re, which commonly marks purpose or suitability. The expression functions as a prepositional-like phrase meaning “for searching” or “for the purpose of searching.” It is used to indicate the intended use of an instrument, method, or process in contexts ranging from technical documentation to academic writing.

In usage, keresésre typically appears in phrases that specify why something exists or how it should be used. Common constructions include adatok keresésére (for searching data), keresésre szolgáló eszközök (tools for searching), or adatbázisok keresésére (for database searching). The form can combine with verbs and nouns to form compound expressions that describe the purpose of a tool, procedure, or guideline.

Examples illustrate its function: A szoftver adatok keresésére szolgál. (The software serves for data searching.) Ezt a programot adatbázisok keresésére használják. (This program is used for database searching.) A kutatók keresésre vonatkozó útmutatókat kértek. (The researchers requested guidelines pertaining to searching.)

Etymology and notes: keresésre is derived from keresés and the -re suffix, characteristic of Hungarian to express intent or aim. It is most common in technical, administrative, or formal language and may appear alongside other formants such as -re szolgáló or -ra/-re compounds to refine meaning. In everyday speech, simpler phrasing may often replace it with direktebb kifejezések like “keresés céljából” or “kereséshez.”
