The meaning of this sentence. Was er sucht, das weiß er selbst nicht genau. I am trying to decipher this sentence : "Was er sucht, das weiß er selbst nicht genau." From what I understand the following has this meaning. We er sucht -> What he want/seek das weiß er selbst nicht genau-> He does not precisely know. So the full meaning to my understand is: He does not precisely know what he wants/seeks. Is this correct?

Ja, genau richtig.

Yep, right. You also could say: He does not really know what he is looking for.
