looks through
Browses inside something
Looks through means to examine items one by one, usually searching for something specific: She looks through the mail every afternoon.
It also describes seeing via a transparent medium: He looks through the window.
To look through someone is to gaze past them as if they don't exist—a deliberate snub: She looked right through me at the party.
