Dear teachers, is this sentence correct? "I spent 2 days for you to search for the information you asked."

What I am confused is whether I could use "spend some tiem for sb".

Try:

I spent two days searching for the information.

Or:

I think the pattern you are looking for is spend time doing something or spent time doing something.
