I search desperately for someone who might give me money (7)

I believe the answer is:

cashier

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

'someone who might give me money' is the definition.
'cashier' can be an answer for 'someone' (cashier is a kind of someone). I am not certain of the remainder of the definition.

'i search desperately' is the wordplay.
'desperately' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'search'='isearch'
'isearch' anagrammed gives 'CASHIER'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cashier that I've seen before include "may be a shop-worker" , "take out of service" , "I search (anag) - dismiss from armed forces with disgrace" , "Employee who takes in or gives out money" , "One handles the money" .)
