I saw some English lessons online and they used the expression look up, but I didn't understand how it is different to "look for". When are they used?

The phrasal verb look up means to find in some kind of authoritative reference, like a dictionary or encyclopedia. The phrasal verb look for means to try to find something, but not necessarily in an authoritative reference.

look up - you raise your head up and you see in that direction
look for - you might have lost something and you want to find it so you are searching for it or looking for it!
