Definition

To examine a collection of items, documents, or information, typically in a quick or systematic manner, often with the primary purpose of finding something specific, gaining a general overview, or checking for particular details. It implies a survey or scan, moving from one item to another in succession, rather than an exhaustive or in-depth study. It suggests a methodical but not necessarily slow process of observation or review. Less commonly, it can also mean to deliberately ignore someone or something, failing to acknowledge their presence.
