EN: to rummage; to search thoroughly
That frantic moment when you can't find your phone or wallet and you turn your entire room upside down. It's more intense than 'maghanap'. This is the 'raid' level of searching, like when your mom looks for contraband in your room or when police search a suspect's house in a teleserye.
Often implies a messy, frantic, or forceful search.
