Discover LudwigThe phrase 'reaching about' is not an expression commonly used in written English, so it is not generally considered "correct" or suitable for use in formal writing.
However, the phrase is often used in informal, spoken English to describe the act of searching or exploring a physical area (such as a room or garden) for something. For example: "I spent the morning reaching about in the attic, but I couldn't find what I was looking for."
