Engineer can’t find site for debugging aid? (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disinfectant

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'debugging aid?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'engineer can't find site' is the wordplay.
'engineer' is an anagram indicator.
'cant'+'find'+'site'='cantfindsite'
'cantfindsite' anagrammed gives 'DISINFECTANT'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for disinfectant that I've seen before include "Agent that destroys bacteria" , "Germicide" , "Substance killing harmful micro-organisms" , "Bacteria destroyer" , "Liquid that kills bacteria" .)
