Also means
thorough
Usage Note
Exhaustivo means covering every detail without omission—a false friend for English speakers: it does NOT mean 'exhausted' (agotado). Use it for investigations, analyses, or lists: un análisis exhaustivo. The adverb is exhaustivamente.
Examples
"Realizaron un estudio exhaustivo del tema."
Natural Translation
They carried out an exhaustive study of the topic.
