What's the difference between "Looking for" & "Search"? As title, what's the difference between "Looking for" & "Search"? If I want to buy something but don't know where and how to buy it, even I don't know what should I buy. Which one can I use? Ex. I need something to drink to solve my thirst problem. --->The answer can be "Water", "Tea", "Juice" etc. If I don't know which one is the best to solve my thirst problem and need someone recommends. Which one can I use? "I'm looking for a drink." or "I'm searching for a drink."? Thanks!!
