Why isn't this a general statement where the first word 'the' should be ignored? "Cats look for mice"
I'm not sure how the sentence was originally set up but all the standard variations are now in place: look for, are looking for, search for, are searching for, hunt for, are hunting for, seek, are seeking. With or without "some". At about six months ago, some sentences were put in play and may not have been fully populated with all the necessary variations. It should all be fixed now.

You can tell because it's "des" instead of "de la". Otherwise, you just have to guess (like words with the same singular and plural in English).
