Get a trail camera off Amazon and put it outside with a can of wet food to see if he is nearby.

Hi, I just wanted to pass this information to you. Just so you know, my background I've worked for cat rescues, TNR Etc on and off for over 20+ years. I also lost my own cat for over 2 weeks and was able to get him back by this method. So please give it a try. What you do is get a humane trap from home depot or another hardware store, some places will rent them out such as feed stores as well. Place it by your house cover it with towel or sheet. Use tuna as a bait and put the trap out at dusk. Cats can smell tuna from a block away, There roaming area is usually just a few houses. The come out at Dusk when it is safer. They are excellent hiders. If you catch another cat or critter just release it and put the trap out again. If somebody has not taken your cat, it is a good chance you'll catch it. I learned this method after I caught my cat this was 20 yrs ago. I have suggested it to many and they have caught their cat. It took several days, but got him back. Just so you know also, once you catch him or her she may be hissing and scared. So place her in a room by herself till she gets acclimated. Put lots of water outside as a rule too, but for food put it in the trap. Good luck!

Is she Microchipped? If so notify the company that she is missing and make sure your contact info is up to date. Blanket your neighborhood with big bright flyers and ask people to search garages and sheds and parked vehicles like RV'S and other places where she could have gotten trapped inside. Search with a flashlight to reflect eyes and a treat bag to shake and pop top cans of smelly food to pop open now and then. If she is not used to being outside then she is probably hunkered down hiding somewhere close by. Post on other places like pawboost.com and lost.petcolove.org and Facebook lost and found pages but be aware of scammers targeting lost and found pages never give money up front to anyone who says they have your cat or can find her and never agree to meet anyone alone. Borrow a humane trap from a shelter like Hermitage or Pacc and set it up baited outside the exit where she escaped. Keep searching and spreading the word.
