SEARCH: The American Sign Language (ASL) sign for "search / seek / look for"

The dominant "C" hand draws two circles in front of the face.

 

 

 

Sample sentence: SEARCH WORK YOU? (Do you look for work?)

 


 

Question:
A student asks: "Can you do search with two hands because I remember it as two hands but that was a couple decades ago."

Response:
You might choose to use two hands to sign SEARCH if you want to be dramatic. For example you might do SEARCH with two hands if you are telling a story to children in an embellished way.

For everyday life though -- just use one hand. Otherwise you are wasting effort.
