It goes like this, Mike: Rosmerta asks if Black broke out of 
Azkaban "to rejoin You-Know-Who", and Fudge answers that it is "his 
eventual plan". He also adds: "You-Know-Who alone and friendless is one 
thing ... but give him back his most devoted servant, and I shudder to 
think how quickly he'll rise again ..." (PoA p.209).

Also, in HBP, when the Prime Minister asks if LV is still alive, Fudge 
answers that "Dumbledore says he is", but "we've never found him". This 
means they did look for him, although I don't know what for - they 
couldn't do anything to him, IMO. 

BTW, I agree with what you wrote in your earlier post - I could never 
understand why LV was hiding abroad, and why he needed to hide at all. 
He was invisible, I suppose (he looked like some dark cloud in the 
movie, but I think it was just for the movie) :-).

No, you didn't miss this in the books, because it was not explained 
there, but JKR said in the live chat that it was indeed Wormtail 
who "salvaged" the wand, so you guessed correctly :-)
