Crossword Genius

Lost, seen reaching for source of information (6,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

search engine

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

'source of information' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'lost seen reaching' is the wordplay.
'lost' indicates an anagram.
'seen'+'reaching'='seenreaching'
'seenreaching' is an anagram of 'SEARCH ENGINE'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for search engine that I've seen before include "Online helper" , "Program for locating information" , "Yahoo or Google. for example" , "internet facility" .)
