Definition
搞好 is a resultative verb (verb + complement) formed from 搞 (to do/manage in a flexible, colloquial way) and 好 (well/good). It means 'to do a good job of something,' 'to handle properly,' or 'to fix up/straighten out.' Unlike the more formal 做好, 搞好 is common in everyday speech and organizational language alike—you'll hear it with relationships (搞好关系), work (搞好工作), and the economy (搞好经济). Its core idea is bringing something to a satisfactory state through effort, not just correctness.
