Which preposition follows a verb is essentially arbitrary, and varies from language to language. When I was learning German I would, for a long time, try to use the English prepositions, and get very funny looks from people. Eg, in English you search
for something; in German you search
after something.
It's just a matter of learning what preposition a given verb takes; there's little (if any) logic to it.
