The stress is usually on the second syllable when it is used as a verb: “to re-SEARCH”; when it is used as a noun, British English usually also stresses the second syllable, but a number of people would stress the first syllable as a result of American influence.

The standard British pronunciation would be a short ‘i’ sound for the 1st ‘e’ with the main stress on the second syllable. A long ‘ee’ sound on the 1st syllable would be the usual American pronunciation.
