i am looking for the meaning vs i am looking for its meaning

Both phrases are fine/correct as is, but they're used in slightly different contexts. 'I am looking for the meaning' is more general and can refer to any meaning in a broader sense. On the other hand, 'I am looking for its meaning' is more specific and implies there's a particular meaning associated with something previously mentioned.
