Isn't that what I do "partially" with searching, though? I am looking for something I don't necessarily know ahead of time.
The stuff I don't know I don't know is exactly that which is most valuable to broaden my horizon.

To look for information, you have to know it exists; you're less likely to know to look for something if it never impinges on your bubble.
