I think the three(?) wise men found Jesus in a manger by searching the Scriptures, did they not?

I know it implied that in the NT, but apparently it must be a misconception. There is no clue of the Christ in the OT. The only way to find Jesus is in the NT or without using scripture at all!?

When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. (Matt 2:10-11a)

note: "house" and "child"
Contrary to tradition, the Magi did not visit Jesus at the manger on the night of his birth as did the shepherds. They came some months later and visited him as a "child" in his "house."
