In the land of fiction, if you need to find secret passages or switches in your Temple of Doom or Haunted Castle, there's not really a point in doing logical things like looking for irregularities, listening for hollows, or other methods. Because the best way to find these things is sheer fluke. Bonus points if you or your friend have been searching for a while. Watch out, though: this is also a good way to find Traps. Compare Eureka Moment and You Were Trying Too Hard. Examples of Shaggy Search Technique include:

Because the best way to find these things is sheer fluke. Leaning back for a breather or punching the wall in frustration can end up with pushing just the right brick. If The Fool falls over in the ancient mansion, odds are the first candelabra or statue they'll grab for support will be the all-important lever to the hidden safe. If you are trying to search logically, step back and assess the situation occasionally: you might just step on the important collapsing floor panel. Bonus points if you or your friend have been searching for a while. Watch out, though: this is also a good way to find Traps. This basically comes about because someone looking for mysterious passages is kinda boring to watch, and finding them normally isn't much more interesting. Related to Bookcase Passage. Named after Shaggy in Scooby Doo, who found more clues and secrets through accidents and falling over than any Great Detective ever could. Any similarities to Shaggy Dog Story are coincidental.
