Oops.  Something happened during the paste of my answer.  Here it is in full:

Hi condexter-ga:

I am offering you a choice depending on what you want to say.

The literal translation, as in asking someone to turn over rocks in a
field, would be:

plura saxa vertite (addressed to several persons)

plura saxa verte (addressed to one person)


But if your meaning is "keep on searching" (if you turn over rocks the
answer will come), the translation would be:

inquisitionem persequere (to one person)
                                                                  
inquisitionem persequemini (to several persons)
