"Put out (the/one's) feelers (người bắt mạch, dò thám)" = Muốn biết/nhận ra điều gì một cách gián tiếp/bí mật hoặc lén lút (ngụ ý về các côn trùng dùng bộ râu của mình để dò xét từng sự thay đổi nhỏ của môi trường sống).

Ví dụ
When she got the idea to submit Dupont as a contender (đối thủ), Rydzy-Wilson said she put out feelers with the mayor and some of the council members, it became a community-wide project.

Houston-based Rice & Gardner Consultants Inc. will conduct the assessment. HISD put out feelers for a firm in October, and four responded. The district says that Rice & Gardner was the most qualified and responsive.

The Bulls clearly have a lot of work to do to earn back the faith of their fans and return to relevancy (sự thích hợp, thích đáng). Making changes in the front office would be a start, and from there decisions would then be made about the head coach and the roster. Perhaps Bulls ownership will make something of an unfortunate situation and use All-Star Weekend to put out feelers and build relationships in advance of an overhaul (sự kiểm tra kỹ lưỡng, xem xét toàn bộ).
