Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

If you are looking around with the intent of finding something, you may overlook some places where your conscious mind doesn't think the missing object would be. When you're not looking for it, you scan a room with no preconceived judgements about where it might be. So, if it's right on the counter (ex), and you never thought to look there, you might accidentally come across it.
