MODERATORS
Some people perform the object’s action, eg moving hand back and forth when looking for the pizza wheel in a drawer full of utensils.
I go blind most often looking for text on web pages. Usually I hit control F and search for the word.
Me too for control F!
Sometimes if I'm walking through the house looking for something it helps me focus if I call to it. "Glasses! Where are you?" Stupid, but helps me. Otherwise I'll switch rooms and not remember that I was even looking for something. Maddening.
Ha! Yeah, I do that too. No idea how it works!
