Definition
A hilariously ineffective search technique where one glances around at eye level, refuses to move any objects, and gives up within 30 seconds while declaring the item 'lost forever.' Named for the historical tradition of Europeans 'discovering' places that millions of people already lived in. The searcher maintains plausible deniability about effort while actually exerting none.
Example Usage
Mom asked me to find the remote, but I just did some white people looking and told her it vanished.
