		⚫	{{RTOC}}==Syntax==
			*{{tt\|SEARCH}}
		⚫	: Searches the room for hidden characters, creatures, pathways, and items.
			*{{tt\|SEARCH <dead creature>}}
			: Searches a dead creature for loot. This uses the default behavior of {{com\|loot}}; use that command for more control over which kinds of loot to seek.
			*{{tt\|SEARCH <item>}}
			: Searches an item for any special feature or contents that respond to this command. The result depends on the item.
			*{{tt\|SEARCH <character>}}
			: Searches a character for items taken from your grave or dropped when you died. It does not reveal the character's inventory.
			*{{tt\|SEARCH <character> FOR <item>}}
			: Attempts to recover a particular graverobbed item from a character.
			*{{tt\|SEARCH <gem pouch>}}
			: Finds the most valuable gem in an untied [[Gem pouch\|gem pouch]]. This requires a free hand.

			==Notes==
			* A room search has roundtime and may reveal hidden characters, creatures, paths, or items. The message after roundtime varies when something is found or nearly found.
			* Searching a dead creature is equivalent to the default {{tt\|GOODS}} mode of {{com\|loot}}.
			* Searching a character only attempts to recover items that belong to you under the [[Graverobbing]] system. Success is not guaranteed, and a free hand is required to receive a recovered item.
			* Item searches can have item-specific requirements and messaging.

			==See Also==
			* {{com\|hide}}
			* {{com\|loot}}
			* [[Gem pouch]]
			* [[Graverobbing]]
