Frantic chaser in the hunt (6)

I believe the answer is:

'the hunt' is the definition.
('search' can be a synonym of 'hunt')

'frantic chaser' is the wordplay.
'frantic' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'chaser' anagrammed gives 'SEARCH'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for search that I've seen before include "Seek carefully (for something)" , "What examiners do" , "Scour, seek" , "Fish about" , "Comb" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
