## Pattern
```
Need β Clarify β Search β Validate β [Found? Deliver : Expand]
```
Keep searching until found or exhausted. Start narrow, expand progressively. Validate before delivering.
## When to Use
- User needs to find something specific
- Location or source is unknown
- "Find me...", "Where can I get...", "I need to find..."
**Not for:** Things you already know, simple lookups, browsing.
## Setup
Before searching, clarify:
| Element | Why |
|---------|-----|
| What exactly? | Avoid finding wrong thing |
| Success criteria | How will we know it's right? |
| Constraints | Budget, location, time, format |
| Already tried? | Don't repeat failed paths |
If user is vague β ask ONE clarifying question, then start.
## Search Expansion
Start narrow, expand if not found:
```
1. Obvious sources β Direct lookup, known locations
2. Specialized sources β Domain-specific databases, expert communities
3. Alternative queries β Different words, related concepts
4. Indirect paths β Who would know? What links to this?
5. Ask human β More context, different angle
```
Each expansion: try multiple sources in parallel when possible.
## Validation
Before delivering, verify:
- Is this actually what was asked for?
- Is the source reliable?
- Is it current/valid?
- Any caveats user should know?
If uncertain β say so. "Found X but not 100% sure it's what you need."
## Delivery
```
FOUND: [what]
WHERE: [source]
CONFIDENCE: [high/medium/low]
CAVEATS: [if any]
```
If multiple results: summarize and let user choose.
## Not Found
If exhausted all paths:
1. Report what was tried
2. Closest alternatives found
3. Suggest different approach or more context needed
