LMM PE, Search Fund Sourcing

Hi, I was just curious if anyone had insight on how sourcing works for LMM PE and Search Funds. Like if they're looking to roll up laundry mats, do they just go on google search and cold outreach? Or are there any better tools online (I see inven, axial, privsource just from google search) that ppl typically use?
