Within astronomy, the principal activity of this research is searching for evidence of advanced technologies or "technosignatures."

Describe where the concept fits within the existing hierarchy This concept relates most directly to "astrobiology" -> "interdisciplinary astronomy." It also would be related to "technosignature" (which has been raised as an issue separately)
