    Squinting modifier and dangling modifiers are all classified as misplace modifiers. A squinting modifier is usually an adverb that describes the words before or after it. A dangling modifier modifies a word that is not clearly stated.

    In this example, the squinting modifier is finally, while the dangling modifier is the phrase Searching busily through the drawer.

    The corrected sentence is:

    The worried girl finally found the antique pendant after searching busily through the drawer.
