Are you making a game book or a text adventure?

I also use a tablet and don't code. I tested doing search on two items and found no problem . Are you calling the verb ' search box' or search bag' ? If so you only need to call it search. The game will know which object you are on.

I'm not clear on your question about Verbs (if you could explain/describe more), but maybe these can be of help to you:

Verbs are just Script Attributes with a little extra coding to make them function as Verbs. Also, Verbs are a sub-form of Commands.
