BTW, I checked the English verb "to want" in an English-Russian dictionary.
It is not only translated as "хотеть". In one of its meanings it is translated to Russian as "разыскивать", as in the context of "He is wanted by the police" = "Его разыскивает полиция".
And the backwards translation of "разыскивать" from Russian to English shows up as "to look for, to search for".
