Official rulings
Two official rulings apply to Frantic Search, newest first.
- You choose which lands to untap as the spell resolves. They aren't targeted, and they don't have to be lands that you control.
- You draw two cards and discard two cards all while Frantic Search is resolving. Nothing can happen between the two, and no player may choose to take actions.
