It's like riding a donkey and looking for a donkey. There was once a man named Wang San who drove five donkeys to the market to sell them and rode one of them himself. On the way, he wanted to count the donkeys. He found that there were only four donkeys. He was puzzled that the number of donkeys was still four. So he came down to count them again. All the five donkeys were there. It dawned on him that he was riding a donkey to find a donkey and forgot the one he was riding. Examples of idioms riding donkeys looking for donkeys is ridiculous. It's not a horse but a horse. Song Dynasty: Huang Tingjian's poem "send Huang Long qinglao"
