Clean search (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scour

This clue is a double definition.

'clean' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'search' is the second definition.
(scouring is a kind of searching)

(Other definitions for scour that I've seen before include "Turn upside down" , "Rub hard or search thoroughly" , "search in detail" , "scrub and scrape" , "Clean - scout" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
