I'm quite certain they would have made a search and found him. This sentence is taken from COLLINS COBUILD ENGLISH USAGE. The Chinese translation of this dictionary translates this sentence as something like 'I'm quite certain they made a search and found him'.
But I would think they didn't make any search for him. But if they had learned about his disappearing, they would have made a search and found him. However, the fact is, they didn't learn about it. Am I right?
