[Grammar] “He searched something with which to work.” Is it correct?

[amk0300]

“He searched something with which to work.”
“He searched something to work with.”

Would you be so kind as to tell me, which one is correct?

Thank You so much!

Hello, amk0300.:-D

I would use 'search for'.

"He searched for something with which to work."
"He searched for something to work with."

Both are grammatically correct, in my opinion.

Indeed, both are grammatically correct, but you are far more likely to hear the second one (with the "for").
