I cannot determine but I think using "think" instead of "feel" would be better. I am not familiar with this sense of "feel".

Thank you.

Yes, in that sentence about the scientists, it means think/believe/suspect; it does not mean rummage.

teechrIt means he used his hand(s) to search his pocket(s) for his wallet.
Then we can say "he rummaged his pockets for his wallet" instead of "he felt for his wallet" but how can you understand "he is looking his pockets" ? For example cannot it be drawings?

He felt for his wallet in the drawings" ?

Thank you.

I don't understand that. It's ungrammatical too.

Sorry for mistakes. It is: For "He felt for his wallet, how can you understand he rummaged through his pockets, instead of drawers etc?

Is it grammatical and clear now?

Thank you.

I'm still having difficulty understanding what you're trying to say. You can rummage through your pockets or through drawers.

For the sentence "He felt for his wallet" you said that "he used his hand(s) to search his pocket(s) for his wallet."

I ask that how you can understand he search his pockets instead of his drawers? By implication d
