What do search and rescuhelicopters search for?

Search and Rescue helicopters, although experimented with in previous wars, were born & pioneered in the Vietnam war. The USAF & USN primarily used Search/Rescue choppers for rescuing shot down US airmen over North Vietnam. The 600 POWs returned to America after the Viet War are examples, in some cases, of FAILED search & rescue missions. If the choppers couldn't reach a downed pilot then he got captured by the North Viets and was imprisoned as a Prisoner of War (POW). A secondary mission of S/R choppers was recovering shot down aircraft, they would sling load a downed bird back to base; whether it be another chopper or an airplane (fixed wing aircraft).
