search Explanation: Search would be the best option here. If, however, you wanted to say, for example, that the police turned the place upside down and left it in a mess, then you could say they ransacked the place. Rummage tends to be used more for having a good look through things in a disorganised kind of way, e.g. rummaging around a person's loft. |
