Here is the classic English-speaker trap: is transitive and swallows the for. Say , never , because would mean you are searching on the book's behalf. The pair and maps cleanly onto looking versus finding, and elserĉi means to search out. is a search, traserĉi is to search a place thoroughly, right through.
