I spend a lot of time repairing electronics in my home office and if I drop a tiny little piece that I don't have spares of and is difficult to replace, it is usually gone.

I have laid down and looked along the surface like that as well, and sometimes if it is a small part and I have another I drop it to see where it goes as well. If it is something sharp your foot will find it sooner or later as well.
Don’t question it. Just say out loud, “Marco!” When you hear a response, you walk towards it and you’ll find what you’re looking for. 60% of the time, it works every time.
Let me start it off for you.

If sharp in any way, the key is to use your foot. It'll find it quick.
vacuum hose + stocking to filter.
The average housecat will easily locate the item and chew the hell out of it
If I can’t find my tape measure I just pretend I’m looking for something else and it magically appears
