Enclosed are some reference sites: (explanations in Japanese) http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1226845547 探す (wiki-dictionary): http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%8E%A2%E3%81%99 (space alc japan): http://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=%E6%8E%A2%E3%81%99 (world reference): http://wordreference.com/jaen/%E6%8E%A2%E3%81%99 探る (wiki-dictionary): http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%8E%A2%E3%82%8B (space alc japan): http://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=%E6%8E%A2%E3%82%8B (world reference): http://wordreference.com/jaen/%E6%8E%A2%E3%82%8B Based on my understanding, 探す has a meaning of actively searching for something, while 探る has a meaning of investigating something underground (not openly). === Good day. / 良い 一日を。

Very roughly speaking, 探すis for when you know what you are looking for. You just don't know where it is. 探るis for when you don't know what you are looking for. You search to see if there is anything you want or not.
