Arthur himself did not even set off on the Quest for the Holy Grail. Depending upon which version you're reading the successful knight is either Percival or Galahad, a few others are listed as being there as well. So Arthur did not complete the Quest.

What does King Arthur send the knights on a search for?

In Chrétien de Troye's Perceval ou la Conte del Graal, the earliest extent graal romance, only Perceval and Gawain are shown to be searching for the grail. In this and most other romances the quest is primarily Perceval's personal quest. However increasingly the grail quest is seen is the central exploit of the Arthurian era. In the Prose Perceval which claims to be by Robert de Boron, when Perceval achieves the grail, that is the general end of wonderful adventures in Arthur's realm. Arthur subsequent conquest of Gaul which leads to a war with Rome is explained as an attempt to keep his knights interested by providing them with feats worthy of their valor.The prose romance Perlesvaus has Perceval, Gawain, and Lancelot all seeking the grail. And it is explained that Percveval's failure to ask the question when he first came to the grail castle has resulted in the illness of the grail king and general lethergy across all of Brtain. Even King Arthur has been affected. In the original Vulgate Arthur Cycle, consisting of the Prose Lancelot, The Quest of the Holy Grail, and The Death of Arthur, it is explained that Arthur's kingdom is afflicted with many difficult adventures, many of which are adventures of the grail. Only a promised best knight will achieve the most difficult of these adventures. Meanwhile the Knights of the Round Table do achieve many of the lesser adventures and put an end to the oppression they cause. Here first comes that idea that all Arthur's Knights of the Round Table take part in the quest of the grail.After the grail quest is achieved by Galahad, Perceval, and Bors there are no more wonderful adventures.
