digging into

Researching with determination

Digging into means investigating or examining something thoroughly, with the persistence of someone excavating earth: I've been digging into the company's financial records.

It also describes beginning to eat with enthusiasm: She dug into her pasta.

Both senses suggest energetic engagement—whether with information or food.
