'norwegian say' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'search with detective' is the wordplay.
'search' becomes 'scan' (I've seen this in another clue).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'detective' becomes 'di' (Detective Inspector abbreviation).
'scan'+'di'='SCANDI'
