EN: to rummage through, to search thoroughly
What your mom does to your room when she's looking for something (or checking if you're hiding anything). It's the frantic search for your keys in your bag na parang black hole. It’s not just 'looking for' something; it’s a chaotic, everything-must-be-tossed-around kind of search.
Tagalog
