Note
An ordinary plural, built the regular way: researcher, the agent noun for one who researches, simply adds -s. Nothing about its meaning shifts in the plural. What changes is agreement. A plural subject takes a plural verb, so it is the researchers were, never the researchers was, and the researchers have found rather than has found.
