My “should” was intended in the sense of “I’m optimistic that they would find it”, not “if they don’t find it it’s because they didn’t try hard enough.”

“You should find carrots in the produce section”, not “you should wash your hands after sneezing”.

If I wanted to convey that tone I should have italicized it or used asterisks. That should have carried my intention more accurately.
