I had to explain the elements of both Maeglin and Tuor clues myself, so.....yeah.Treat others how you would like to be treated.

This is moderately fair; it's always frustrating when people dismantle your password purely on theme (didn't I have three giants fall in the space of a single Wiki read?). That said, there's a difference between 'it must be this, but I've looked at it and can't make it fit the clue', and 'this has the right letter and is therefore my guess'. (I have been guilty of both, but try hard to avoid just throwing out names that have both letter and theme without at least partial explanations).
(PS: I think it was Galadriel who guessed both Tuor and Maeglin, but this doesn't really affect your main point.)
There are a lot of alternate names and titles with T in them at the Council - Strider, Thranduillion, Captain of Gondor, &c &c. The clue sounds like we need a synonym for 'search' with a synonym for (or name of a) 'ship' stuck inside it... but there really aren't any jumping out at me.
E feels like it might contain 'pie'.
