Definition
踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费功夫
Literally means:
after a futile quest that even wears one's iron shoes, one finds the thing wanted like a breeze by luck
Actually means:
find something by chance after looking for it high and low
It figuratively means that one takes great pains to look for a thing or a person, and still fails to find it; yet by a lucky chance he may find it without ever looking for it.
比喻费了很大的力气寻找都找不到的东西或人，却偶然毫不费劲地找到了。
Example
Used as a minor sentence, or as predicate or object. The different parts of the phrase can be used separately. (作小句、谓语、宾语，可以拆开使用)
