Search (through) carelessly (7)

I believe the answer is:

rummage

(Other definitions for rummage that I've seen before include "Search causing disorder - jumble" , "Search unsystematically" , "Look, that's not neat" , "Search messily (through)" , "Gear mum up to search and poke about" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
