Also means
to fetch
Usage Note
Chercher already contains 'for', so you never add pour — je cherche mes clés means 'I'm looking for my keys'. Paired with aller it means to go fetch, as in va chercher le pain, and chercher à plus an infinitive means to try to.
Examples
"Je cherche mes clés."
Natural Translation
I'm looking for my keys.
Literal Translation
I look-for my keys
