When Search Gald is activated, the user will look around the closest area to where they stands and probably find some Gald. Usually, the chance of this happening and how much Gald is found depends on luck. In Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology, there are two different versions of Search Gald. While the Thief job class goes down to their knees to search for a few seconds, Rutee Katrea attacks a targeted enemy. In Tales of Vesperia, Patty Fleur can then use the gathered Gald to attack her enemy. If Patty uses the arte with the "Alembic" skill equipped, she will instead use the altered arte Gald Steal.
