With sisku = "x1 looks for object x2 at location x3", you can still say 
you're looking for a green thing:

mi sisku lo crino

The property is not very convenient, so I always use sisku with the 
above definition.

I would say the above sisku is the most basic predicate, and the old 
sisku can be retrieved with something like "kairsisku".
