Is the word consulta the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

No

While the spelling, grammar, and core meaning of "consulta" are identical in both dialects, there is a difference in typical usage. In Brazil, "consulta" is frequently used to describe the act of looking something up or searching for information (e.g., "uma consulta no Google"). In Portugal, while "consulta" is the standard term for medical or official appointments, the act of searching for information is much more naturally expressed using the word "pesquisa." Additionally, there is a difference in pronunciation: in Brazilian Portuguese, the "s" in the middle of the word is a soft [s], whereas in Continental Portuguese, it is pronounced as a "sh" sound [ʃ].
