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).

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.
