Kërkimit

Kërkimit is an Albanian noun form that denotes the act of searching, seeking, or inquiring. The base noun is kërkim, derived from the verb kërko, to seek. Kërkimit appears in phrases and constructions that express possession or relation, such as procesi i kërkimit (the process of searching) or kërkimit të informacionit (the search for information). In grammar, it is the form used in oblique contexts after prepositions, for example in phrases like i kërkimit.

In everyday language and specialized fields, the concept covers a range of activities. In information technology and data management, kërkimi refers to locating data, documents, or records. The term is commonly used with expressions such as kërkimi i informacionit, kërkimi në internet, and motorët e kërkimit (search engines). Effective kërkim in digital environments depends on indexing, query formulation, and relevance ranking.

In academic, scientific, and philosophical contexts, kërkimi denotes systematic inquiry. It encompasses the search for knowledge, the pursuit of evidence, and the process of testing hypotheses. Phrases such as kërkimi shkencor (scientific inquiry) and kërkimi i të vërtetës (the search for truth) illustrate its broader philosophical and methodological dimensions. In everyday life, it can describe any purposeful pursuit, from finding a lost object to seeking solutions or opportunities.

Linguistically, kërkimit is the form used in constructs where the noun governs a relation, often after the preposition i, as in “procesi i kërkimit.” Other related forms include kërkim (the search) and kërkimet (the searches).
