Search and Deceive

The act of pretending to help a friend locate an object they are looking for. An individual may move objects back in forth or open drawers randomly, in an effort to pretend that they actually care.

Jules: Yo! I lost my gameboy... come help me look for it!
Vincent: Dude, I'm watching the Manchurian Candidate right now... look for it yourself..
Jules: Seriously dude, come help me!
Vincent: (pretends to look for it by moving a bunch a books around on a table)
Jules: Dude, you're not even looking for it... you're just doing a Search and Deceive.
