Then i guess that searching down into a recursive structure and just raising an "i found it" result object up doesn't count as a use case in your book, right?

You can always wrap the object you want to return in a suitable subclass of Exception. I would prefer to write it that way anyway, otherwise I'd need some sort of "catch anything which isn't a subclass of Exception" statement, which is rather awkward to spell.

If this is considered a common enough requirement, a special built-in Exception subclass could even be provided for it, to save people the bother of defining their own...
