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

'look for someone' is the definition.
'search' can be an answer for 'look' ('search' can be a synonym of 'look'). I'm unsure of the 'for someone' bit.

'reach out to after school' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'to after' says to put letters next to each other.
'school' becomes 's'.
'reach' anagrammed gives 'earch'.
'earch' after 's' is 'SEARCH'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for search that I've seen before include "Look thoroughly to find something" , "Go through" , "Probe" , "Showing pleasure" , "What examiners do" .)
