Search for oneself

Answer:

EGOSURF

Hint:

Think of scouring the web to track mentions of your own name—this slangy term combines vanity with a common online activity.

Explanation:

"Search for oneself" plays on the idea of looking up your own name online, which is commonly called "egosurfing." The term combines "ego" (self-importance) with "surf" (browsing the internet), making it a clever fit for the clue. It’s a lighthearted way to describe vanity searches, where people check their online presence.
