It would make sense to say if one doesn't look for something, how can they then expect to find it? however, take for example, I was researching the type of CP my son has and I came across information on his muscle tone etc, which is what I was looking for, but then something in the corner of the screen caught my eye, it was a term I had never heard before, so I curiously became drawn to it and it turns out that it describes my son's speaking disorder related to his CP.
I didn't set out to research speech disorders, but it kinda found me. Just saying, sometimes things don't always follow the obvious pattern.

I totally agree.
