Search (Continuous or Single-Execution)
Default: Computer Operation-2 or Expert (Computer Security)-1.
Base Complexity: 3.

Actively seek out a particular program or piece of data on a computer, or a particular computer on a network.

A success finds the target, allowing further programs to be executed on it (once its ICE is defeated, of course!). Search must win a Quick Contest against Stealth (Program), or Spoof used to mask a target’s identity, in order to find targets protected by those programs.

Run continuously, Search can scan a computer or network for a certain class of target, such as “unauthorized programs.” Search can be set to activate a Trigger program when specified types of targets are found.

This is one of the Hacking Programs.
