Searches for an appearance (5)

I believe the answer is:

looks

I believe this is a double definition.

'searches' is the first definition.
(I know this)

'for an appearance' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for looks that I've seen before include "they're good for beauty" , "Views" , "(Person's) appearance" , "Peers" , "Seems" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
