I use this to find a jar in the refrigerator that I know is there somewhere, but somehow I cannot see unless I actually point at each item, one at a time.

Me too, how strange! I do something very similar, except I look from underneath each shelf as then I can see items that are behind bigger items.

I do this too, though in a scanning motion sort of way, and I swear it helps. A bit slower than just glancing around but you never miss what you're looking for.
