'search the bed again? how infuriating' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'search the bed again?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'search' could be 'drag' (dragging is a kind of searching) and 'drag' is located in the answer.
'again?' could be 're' (prefix meaning 'again') and 're' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
