I've always searched then moved. There are 2 reasons behind this:
1 - it gives you freedom to search anywhere so you can really see the playing field as a whole
2 - location and therefore relocation packages can be negotiated with any decent company.

Since the pandemic gave rise to the remote worker I would also argue it has now made a 3rd reason more promenent:

3 - you may find an awesome remote job and then you've got the new position and still the freedom to find a new location you would like to live in
