Thanks God, it was quite a struggle to distinguish them with 捜. Still have no clue of difference between these both さがすses, though.

UPD: Thank you, Jenny!

They are very similar! Most people go with 探す most of the time because it’s simpler to write, even when 捜す is technically the preferred option. 捜す tends to be preferred if you’re looking for something or someone that you’ve lost.

There are some good examples here: 「探す」と「捜す」 - 違いがわかる事典 :slight_smile:
