I found an interesting description on the page 80 SR 5 core book
Distinctive Style
Bonus: 5 Karma
A character with the Distinctive Style quality has at least
one aspect of his appearance, mannerism, or personality
that makes him inconveniently memorable. Choices
for Distinctive Style include, but are by no means
limited to: tattoos that cannot be easily concealed, an
accent or atypical manner of speaking, bizarre fashion
choices, scars, gang or prison signs, flashy custom augmentations,
or non-metahuman modifications like a
tail. Note that what’s distinctive in one culture or location
may not be in another.
Whatever Distinctive Style the player selects makes
her character easy to remember. Anyone who attempts
to identify, trace, or physically locate this character (or
gain information about him via legwork) receives a +2
dice pool modifier for relevant tests. If an NPC makes a
Memory Test (p. 152) to determine how much they recall
about the character, reduce the Difficulty Threshold
by 1, to a minimum of 1.
"Anyone who attempts
to identify, trace, or physically locate this character (or
gain information about him via legwork) receives a +2
dice pool modifier for relevant tests."
i am a bit confused by this sentence.I guess such searching test for evil gangers (or anyone else) who want revenge on runners,but i didnt saw any appropriate test with attribute and skil.
Did i miss such test description somewhere?how much of the target position will I know if successful?

Relevant skills would be perception, matrix search and tracking, respectively.
