Definition
搜罗 means 'to collect, gather, or round up' — usually with the nuance of searching widely and bringing things or people together, like scouring an area for talent or items. The sense 'rummage' is less central and mostly appears in colloquial contexts when describing physically searching through drawers or piles; for formal usage, stick with the gathering/recruiting meaning.
