Comb through is perfect here. I think you mean, “Thankfully” instead of “Hopefully”

Great! Although we almost always say, “at the moment” to mean “right now.” In this case, you can say, “…because it was 4°C in my city at the time.”

Hopefully, the search bar of both is very useful in helping me comb through them when I need a piece of information.

I’m not sure from the example whether you’re saying you looked in the trash or whether you looked in the trash and that’s where you found the keys. So you can say either: “Then, I combed through the area, including the trash, and found them.” or “Then, I combed through the area and found them in the trash.”

I believe it’s the first 300. I think in 2026 I finish.

Ah, you’re digging deep in the archives. A “cap” is like a baseball hat, but to keep warm, you would say, “a hat.” I would say, “…I need to bundle my head up with a warm hat even in the weak winter of Brazil.”
