Searching

Searching is the act of trying to find something or someone. One can distinguish

• searching for something that is known to exist, such as an object that a poorly-organized person has stored, or that someone else has stored, or that someone has lost, or a missing person, such as a child that has run away or a victim of crime, an accident or a disaster

Sometimes the law allows searching arbitrary people (people against whom there is no specific suspicion) in the street.
