How do you research and plan your stories?

I research only when I know I need to, often for settings that are out of the ordinary. My current WIP is set during a large market and fair, so I researched when such markets happened in medieval York, where in the city they were held, and what they were like.

As for planning, I write mysteries, so I start with the crime, the perpetrator, and the other suspects and write the mystery from there.
