Leave no stone unturned means to search every possible location.
I think so - the actual meaning of the sentence is that you left every stone unturned, i.e. did nothing. The usual phrasing would be "I left no stone unturned", i.e. you did everything you possibly could. Triple negative actually. Which is okay. Even negatives cancel. if the sentence was "There was not a stone I left unturned", or "There was a stone I did not leave unturned", or "There was not a stone I did not leave turned", would mean different things... The rule is meant to correct ambiguity where some say "I ain't got nobody", to me they don't have anyone, where logically not having nobody, implies you have somebody...
"Leave no stone unturned" can be found on page 6 of "The Phantom Tollbooth" by Norton Juster.

This expression alludes to an ancient Greek legend about a general who buried a large treasure in his tent when he was defeated in battle. Those seeking the treasure consulted the Oracle of Delphi, who advised them to move every stone. The present form dates from the mid-1500s. The actual man who wrote "Leave no stone unturned" was Euripides, an ancient Greek playwright.
