Definition
搞搞 is the reduplicated form of 搞, a versatile verb meaning 'to do, make, handle, get, cause, etc.' Reduplication adds a casual, tentative, or 'a bit of' flavor — like 'do a little bit of' or 'tinker with'. Use it when the action is informal, experimental, or not too serious. For example, 搞搞电脑 means 'tinker with the computer'.
