The phrasal verb ‘cook up’ means ‘to invent a story, plan, etc., usually dishonestly’. This is not the correct phrasal verb. The correct phrasal verb is ‘look up’, which means ‘to find’ or ‘search for’. You can look up the most wanted criminals all over the world at Most Wanted, a site that links up to law enforcement's desired baddies.
