What is the difference between 見つける and 探す


I think they have a same meaning: find or search. Could you help me to show
the differences between them ? In the detail cases ?




(～を)見つける means "to find ~~".

(～を)探す means "to look for ~~".

e.g.

> **探した** けれど、ミーちゃんを **見つける** ことはできませんでした。  
>  We looked for Mii-chan, but we couldn't find her.
