search me

'would i know?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'scam here perhaps?' is the wordplay.
'perhaps?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'perhaps' mean this).
'scam'+'here'='scamhere'
'scamhere' anagrammed gives 'SEARCH ME'.

'how' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for search me that I've seen before include "I haven't a clue" , "how you'll find what's concealed on my person" , "I've no idea" , "Examination set on this writer" , "Who knows? 14 [NOT-I] !" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
