I think this is the most likely reason why we haven't found aliens yet - we are looking for something too much like what we are.

I don’t disagree with you that we are currently only looking for life like our own, but « too much » makes it sound like this is some form of short sightedness, whereas it’s just that trying to find something we can’t define is basically impossible. We can define life as it is on earth, and we have proof it’s possible. It might be an outlier form but it’s the only one we can effectively look for.
