I am not familiar enough with the template to correct the 'third-person singular simple present'. It really should be "searches" not "searchs". --12.106.111.10 19:24, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
Do we clearly enuf distinguish
- "on a/the search for"
as opp'd to "
- "in search of"
-- or is that nuance between types of search and/or searching too subtle?
