Look around for
Phil and Paul come out of the bar and look around for John, but he's nowhere to be seen.
Phil: Where did he go?
Paul: I don't know.
Phil: John! John! - Paul: John!
No sight of John. Phil and Paul move down the street.
- Is 'look around for' OK if they just stand and look around without moving around looking for him?
- Is 'No sight of John' correct?
Thanks.

Hi Yes, if you move your head in different directions, to see if you can spot someone, you are looking around for them. It can also mean you are moving about to try and find them - I can't see John - No sight of John The second is good idiomatic English. Anyone would accept that I liked the question, Dave
