The phrase "Look for"

[Wes Wes]

I was trying to use "look for" in a sentence.

"Can you look for it for me?"

In the above sentence, i just want to use "look for" and started wondering if it is weird that is like "....look for it for me" ?

I know there are other verbs I can use but i am just trying to make it clear in this case.

It is fine. There's nothing wrong with repeating prepositions if required, though you could use a different verb to avoid it.

Thanks!! I think I've picked my confidence up again!!!!

Does the first "for" and the second "for" have the same connotation?.
If not it seems it does not imply that it is a repetition.
Am I right?.

Look for = search
for me = on my behalf, for my benefit.

You're right that they're not the same, but the word is repeated.
