## Official Rulings
- *(2004-10-04)* Because the "search" requires you to find a card with certain characteristics, you don't have to find the card if you don't want to.
- *(2009-10-01)* Hunting Cheetah's ability allows you to search your library for any card with the land type Forest, not just a card with the name Forest.
