Reduce loot search costs

I am currently a th 9 player. I'm trying to save up large amounts of gold for upgrades. In order to do that I need to raid people with lots of loot. The search cost needs to either be removed or heavily reduced. I sometimes find myself spending 200k gold JUST searching for a raid. The most ive ever spent is 600k, that is ridiculous. I end up spending more gold than I get in battle. And I'm usually floating around gold 2. This is a problem that really makes the game unenjoyable. I love this game and I REALLY don't want to have to quit because of this.
