To seek diligently, search thoroughly, especially with the implication of careful or anxious investigation. The verb can also describe the act of searching for something hidden or lost, and in some contexts, it carries a secondary nuance of concealing oneself or disguising, derived from the act of searching out or hiding a person or object. The core emphasis is on a careful, intent search, whether for objects, persons, or information.
