quick search

Brief information check

A quick search is a brief, informal look for information, typically online: A quick search turned up several reviews.

The phrase emphasizes minimal effort—you're not conducting thorough research, just checking something fast.

Often used to suggest due diligence without deep investigation: I did a quick search but couldn't find anything.
