Command: search - lets you take a very close look at something Description: With 'search ' you have a very close look at items you have in your 'inventory' ('help inventory'), items lying in the room you are in, or items only mentioned in the description of the room (so-called room items). Most of the time nothing will happen: "You find nothing." But here and there you might find something or get a hint or ... And sometimes it could help to search twice or more often. If you search containers like bags or chests (see 'help put' and 'help get') the content of the container will be listed, in the same way as with 'examine'/'look at'. Or, when the container is closed, you will get a hint at least that there might be something in it. But be aware: if you find something in a room, you don't take it automatically! And if you find something in an item you have in your 'inventory', you will drop it if you can't carry more! You can also search "item number X" - see Examples: below and 'help numbering'. Sometimes even beings can be searched. And again: sometimes it might help to search twice or more often. Syntax: search Examples: search rubbish search bones search bag 2 Note: 'search' can be abbreviated to 's', 'se', 'sea', etc. No, this is no problem with 's' for 'south or 'se' for 'southeast'! If there is no argument, it will be interpreted as 's' or 'se'. But if you give an argument, e.g. 's sofa' or 'se sign', 's' or 'se' are taken as 'search' ;-D Cool ... For wizards only the abbreviation 'se' is available as 's' stands for 'stat'. 'search' was added as a standard command in February 2016 also for the first egg hunt (see 'help egg-hunt') in 2016.
