<p>Yes, that's correct. Re-triggering "enters the battlefield" effects is certainly a good use of "flicker" cards like Cloudshift.

<p>I believe that when I play <a class="mtg-autocard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" href="https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Cloudshift">Cloudshift</a> which reads:</p>
<p><em>Exile target creature you control, then return that card to the battlefield under your control.</em></p>
<p>On <a class="mtg-autocard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" href="https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Borderland%20Ranger">Borderland Ranger</a> which reads:</p>
<p><em>When Borderland Ranger enters the battlefield, you may search your library for a basic land card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. If you do, shuffle your library.</em></p>
<p>Then Borderland Ranger's triggered ability triggers. Is this correct?</p>

I believe that when I play [Cloudshift](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Cloudshift) which reads:

*Exile target creature you control, then return that card to the battlefield under your control.*

On [Borderland Ranger](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Borderland%20Ranger) which reads:

*When Borderland Ranger enters the battlefield, you may search your library for a basic land card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. If you do, shuffle your library.*

Then Borderland Ranger's triggered ability triggers. Is this correct?
