Different words for "look/obtain"

Question

Buenas!

Tengo una pregunta. I work in a predominantly Spanish speaking area and the Spanish I was taught in school is nothing like the Spanish I hear at work. When people ask "what is it that you are looking for" at work, it sounds like they are saying "que culpa". I know this can't be correct because if memory serves me correctly, "culpa" means guilt or fault. I'm used to saying "que busca" when asking someone what they are looking for. I know there are a lot of different ways to say the same thing in Spanish, so any help would be fantastic.

Thanks!
