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)Reply

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?

In the etymology, we could ideally do with a Middle English bridge between Old French and Modern English. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:33, 4 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
