EN: fine-toothed comb; thorough search
The OG anti-kuto weapon, that fine-toothed comb your nanay used on your hair in elementary school. By extension, it's what the NBI does when they're investigating a case—a 'salugsog' is a search so thorough, they're basically looking for lice in the country's metaphorical hair.
Can be used literally for the comb or figuratively for a meticulous investigation.
