How did you deduce this?

Overhearing a controller asking aircraft if they can look for the
target.

Hmmm, a pretty silly deduction on that controller's part, then.

Often in my case I will hear a traffic call to the "other" aircraft first
and begin looking myself, providing me anywhere from a few seconds to 15 or
so seconds to attempt to locate the aircraft before receiving my end of the
traffic call.

My guess and experience to date suggests that a controller being annoyed at
an immediate "negative contact" is a rarity, not the norm.
