Search for food (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

4

6

I believe this is a double definition.

'search' is the first definition.
(I know that grub is a more specific form of search)

'food?' is the second definition.
(grub can informally mean food)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for grub that I've seen before include "Larva; dig shallowly" , "Food (informal)" , "Larva; food (sl.)" , "Nosh - larva" , "Caterpillar - food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent and The Times.
