    Just to continue this reasoning, why can the character be less perceptive when actively searching than when he is not?

      Why do I accidentally find my wife’s keys in plain sight when she’s tearing the house apart panicking to find them?

      I dislike that rule. But you could justify it as the character getting distracted by a red herring. Such as a dog treat in the middle of the room.

      I take the highest of the passive perception and the roll, because I’m a benevolent DM.
