Search in picturesque street (5)

I believe the answer is:

quest

'search' is the definition.
(quest is a kind of search)

'in picturesque street' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'QUEST' is hidden within 'picturesque street'.

(Other definitions for quest that I've seen before include "Long or arduous search" , "Mission" , "A search or hunt" , "Hunt, goal" , "Pursuit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
