Please ignore the bits that don't apply
Putting notes through the neighbours doors is good as not everyone is on social media. Ask them to open their sheds and garages for a while to allow a frightened cat time to escape. Check all gardens and water butts. Tip the contents of your vacuum cleaner outside to scent your area.
Go out at night when it's quieter rattling food and listen for miaawing. Take a torch with you as the beam will reflect the cat's eyes. If no result widen your food rattling area and put posters up.
If he/she's not neutered he/she will be out after a queen on heat or waiting for any available Tom.
If this is so, please, for the sake of his/her health and safety do the right thing.
Alert your old neighbours if you have moved as cats often try to return home. They need to be kept in for at least a month after a house move so that they realise they have a new home
Post on your local Nextdoor app too

If he's not neutered you need to widen your search to possibly 5 miles. He's at risk of catching FiV, territory fights and crossing busy roads. Unneutered females are usually pregnant when found. Ask your postman/woman to keep an eye out too.
