It is March and the lovely EnigMarch people have challenged puzzle designers to write a puzzle inspired by today's word: "search".
Oh no! The USA clown President Trump (egged on by his buffoonish adviser Elon Musk) keeps flopping around trying to do things and judges keep stopping him. Now he's throwing tantrums again, screaming that he wants to find who's thwarting his dimwit plans.
That's a 2020-era meme to remind you of the bad old days towards the end of Trump's first term. Trump ruined many things during his first term, but not nearly as many as he wanted to. That's because when lawyers sued the Trump administration, about 80% of the time they were suing over something totally illegal and won their case. Now Trump is writing orders targeting law firms. If I were tired of lawyers consistently winning cases against me I would simply stop breaking the law every single day.
Anyhow, here's a word search. Find the old-timey words for wrongdoers and fugitives. Highlight them or cross them out or something. When you're done, the leftover letters should tell you who Trump tells his searchers to find:
| B | O | L | T | E | R | K | D |
| P | E | R | P | K | T | N | O |
| E | M | Y | O | E | S | A | D |
| E | C | O | L | A | P | V | G |
| R | R | R | E | G | O | E | E |
| C | A | I | T | I | F | F | R |
| V | I | L | L | A | I | N | A |
| O | U | T | C | A | S | T | T |
