[QUOTE="treebear, post: 6389881, member: 6780526"] I think the best approach is what is fun for you the DM and the players. Some players have attention problems, are new, or very in the box thinkers, or just slow thinkers for what every reason. A directed search won't work well for these players. They will be left out, left behind or unable to contribute to the group effort. Other player are very detailed and thorough, which can bog the game down and create friction with the rest of the table, that's wants to move on or keep moving. I try to gauge it by the player. What do they propose? How does it compare to their usual effort or ideas? Then I respond accordingly. This however is very much winging it on the fly. If I wanted a more fixed method I use different DC for the checks, I search the room, very hard, I look in the fire pit, under the rug, behind the bookshelf, in the pot etc. is and easy or very easy or you find it check, assuming there is something to find of course.
