Thanks for this nice link.

"So, following the general philosophy behind exceptions, should you
dismiss the possibility that searches will return nothing? When a search
comes up empty, is it not more a case of normal processing? Therefore,
in order to use exceptions judiciously, choose the approach in Case 2
over Case 1."

Hit the nail on the head.
