A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

What happens if I look for an item, don't find it b/c I overlook it, and then later on end up drawing the item?
What happens if I look for an item, don't find it b/c I overlook it, and then later on end up searching again for an item and do find it?

These questions are no longer pertinent, as the updated CR on Search states that you do not need to take a card even if you find one.
