  1. If you have a magnet, use that to find the screw
  2. If you don't have a magnet, buy one immediately for the future, and then proceed to step 3
  3. Look for it with your peripheral vision, which is better at spotting deviations to terrain and shapes than your primary vision. I don't remember the exact reason, but it has something to do with being able to spot predators out of the corner of our eyes.

  1. Use a flashlight pointed parallel to the floor. The shadow cast by the screw will look bigger than the screw itself.

That's a good idea on a flat floor.

Or put pantyhose over the end of a vacuum wand, then vacuum the area you dropped it on. The vacuum will find the screw and the pantyhose will prevent the vacuum from ingesting it.
