$$\begin{gathered} R O S ? E C H A I P \\ 6 8 2 1 7 3 4 5 9 \end{gathered}$$

So, in SEARCH,

S ia coded as 2,
E as 1,

 The alphabets in the given words are coded as follows :

$$\begin{gathered} M ? I ? S ? T ? A ? K ? E N D \\ 9 7 6 5 4 1 2 8 3 \end{gathered}$$

D is coded as 3,

I as 7,
S as 6,
T as 5,
A as 4  and
N as 8.
So, the code for DISTANT is 3765485.
