Search the way

Does the phrase/expression "to search the way" make sense in English?

If so, would you please give me a couple of examples of how to use it?

Thank you

teal lime Does the phrase/expression "to search the way" make sense in English? It only makes sense in a pattern I don't think you're interested in: I'll show you how to search the ground for evidence of this crime. All of you should search the way I do.
