Type 1: speed

* hustle

* look in obvious places

* calling

 +
Type 1 has changed a little since we first learned it. The focus
 +
is much more on speed. Getting to where the subject might be fast.
 +
Because it ends the search quickly. Because it's where they can't
 +
wait to be found later -- e.g. washed up on the water's edge. So
 +
hustle at a speed that can be maintained for the entire assignment.
 +
A fast walk, maybe even a jog. Calling. Often a trail sweep.
 +
But all members on the trail. None in the bush on the side -- that
 +
would slow them down. Typically one focusing left, one focusing
 +
right, maybe a third focusing ahead. Looking for the obvious --
 +
"There she is! In the middle of the trail, waiting for us." If
 +
you're too thorough in a Type 1 search, you're too slow. Some groups
 +
set up deliberate hard-to-find clues when practicing Type 1 and if
 +
they're found they know the searchers are being too thorough.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Type 2: efficient
 +
* purposeful wandering
 +
* critical spacing
 +
* sound sweep
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Type 3: effective
 +
* grid search
 +
* arms width apart
 +
* spontaneous volunteers
 +
 
 +
Type 4
 +
* fine search
 +
 
 +
Don't use term: hasty search, hasty team
