in search for a word

[pianoman53]

I was simply wondering, is there a word for the situation that you are looking for something, but can't find it, because it's where it actually should be?

Like now, I was looking for my jacket, and couldn't find it, because I actually put it on the hanger.

Weird.  I drempt I was trying to think of a word.  Didn't know what the word was. Didn't know what the meaning was.  I was trying to remember what the word-I-couldn't-think-of meant.

I think it influenced by this post.

Not an easy one.   But maybe that some ideas can bring us closer to a word.  (And why not invent a new one ?)
