What is the difference between have looked and looked?
The auxiliary verb "have" (have, had, will have) is used with the so-called "perfect tenses."
While "looked" is the ordinary past tense of to look, the present perfect tense would be "have looked" or "has looked" (third-person singular).
Using HAVE means that the process of looking has taken place already (present perfect actually referring to the past), or it can be an intensifier meaning "indeed."
(e.g. You should look. / I have looked!)
It also allows a negative statement that is not possible for the simple past tense (archaic I looked not), although it can be done with the past tense did.
I looked / I have looked / I have not looked
I look / I don't look (present conditional) or I didn't look (past tense)
