Search fund internship after MM PE freshman summer

I’m a sophomore at a semi-target. Was in MM PE last summer and am wondering if I should pick up a winter search fund internship to add to my resume before recruiting season. Would it look bad to go from “proper” PE over the summer to a search fund during the school year?
