Verb:RUMMAGE
RUMMAGE is a mechanical verb. It will search through a container for a specified item. If the user has an empty hand, the item will then be removed from that container and placed into held inventory. The user does not have to be wearing the container. Further, any container that can hold an item works with this verb. This includes town benches or other furniture. Use INSPECT to check furniture for holding capacity.
