1) I don't think it means "to make money".
I don't see that in any dictionary I checked.
ABC has 搵錢 wènqián 〈coll.〉 v.o. make money, but that doesn't mean 搵 = make money.

2) K has 搵 for both simp and trad form!
That's not what other sources say.

3) soak
L ~
1.〈書〉浸入。
例 「我特來填還你這淚搵溼鮫鮹帕(元‧馬致遠《漢宮秋‧第一折》)​」。
2.〈書〉按壓。
例 「大拳頭搵住嘴縫(元‧陳以仁《存孝打虎‧第二折》)​」。
3.〈書〉擦拭;揩拭。
例 「搵英雄淚(宋‧辛棄疾〈水龍吟‧楚天千里清秋〉詞)​」。
