I'm reading about the skills Search & Spot. I know in Spot it helps you detect trap, doors... But isn't Search the same or does Search allows you discover those.
Just a little confused...???

Spot will allow you to know something is there, the exception being invisible creatures, 20 Spot is enough to see anyone under the effect of the spell 'Invisibility'Quote:

That being said Search is general more useful
Spot is a passive ability, while Search takes a few seconds while your character sits still and scans the area around him.
Spot is good for seeing enemies at a distance (think ice spiders on Korthos) and detecing secret doors/traps that can then be revealed with a Search.
Just a note here: rogues get trapfinding.
Only rogues can find traps with a search DC of 20+.
One exception is the cleric spell Find traps, but I have never used it in DDO...
Thnanks all, I always get confused with those skills.
