'''Automatic searching''' is a useful [[property]] that allows you to automatically [[search]] squares around you as you move around. This saves you needing to manually use '''[s]''' to search nearby squares all the time, and is free – it does not cost extra time or [[energy]]. Thus, you stand a much better chance of finding [[trap]]s just before you stumble into them, and can also locate [[portal]]s and [[hidden door]]s much more easily. It is otherwise functionally identical to ordinary searching.

Automatic searching may be acquired as an [[intrinsic]] if you start out as a [[ranger]] (some other roles also acquire this intrinsic at a higher level; see [[searching]] for a list) or if you succeed in [[eating jewelry|digesting]] a [[ring of searching]]. Just wearing the ring will give you automatic searching as an [[extrinsic]], which costs you [[nutrition]] because you are wearing a ring, and prevents you from wearing other rings on that hand.

 Automatic searching may be acquired as an [[intrinsic]] if you start out as a [[ranger]], at level 9 as a [[monk]], or at level 10 as an [[archaeologist]], [[rogue]], or [[tourist]].  Intrinsic automatic searching can also be gained if you succeed in [[eating jewelry|digesting]] a [[ring of searching]]. Wearing the ring will give you automatic searching as an [[extrinsic]], which costs you [[nutrition]] because you are wearing a ring, and prevents you from wearing other rings on that hand. Wielding [[Excalibur]] also grants this extrinsic, without the normal [[ring hunger]].
