[Middle English hunten, from Old English huntian.]
To switch to a different telephone line if the first one is busy. A "hunt group" is a series of telephone lines identified as a group such that if one line is busy, the next available line is used (it "hunts" to the next line). Local telephone companies provide hunting for a relatively small monthly fee. PBXs provide this feature automatically to their station sets for outbound line access.

We had to hunt for the tool when we needed it because someone forgot to put it where it belongs.
