Semantic difference between "Find" and "Search"? -


When an application is built, is there a meaningful difference between the idea of ​​"search" vs "search"? Do you consider more or less synonyms about them?

I am asking for labeling for application UI as well as API design.

Finding is about to complete the search.

If you can not succeed in finding something, call the feature "search" for example because of any message the text search in an editor might fail - then by saying "find" Will have to lie. On the other hand: In an established job search site, you can find "a PHP job" because you know that (approx) that your users want will be there. It also makes self confidence, positive and energetic.
