““The Indiana decisions have not dealt extensively with the question of what constitutes a- search, but. there is one 'definition of search which is applicablé. In McCoy v. State (1960), 241 Ind. 104, 115 , 170 N. E.. 2d 43, 48, this court said: “ . . In the law of searches and seizures, the' term “search” implies á prying into hidden places for that which is concealed.’ ” -■' “The facts as set out above indicate that there was,- no prying and the contraband taken was not hidden. There was simply a discovery of that which was open to. view. Similar cases in other jurisdictions have reached the conclusion that such a discovery does not constitute a search. People v. Easley (1957), 148 Cal. App. 2d 565 , 307 P. 2d 10 . People v. Ruiz (1956), 146 Cal. App. 2d 630 , 304 P. 2d 175 . People v. Searcy (1962), 199 Cal. App. 2d 470 , 18 Cal. Rptr. 779 , 90 A. L.
