Difference between try "and" ... "and" tr

Watching American TV series, I often
hear phrases like \"I'll try and find him\" where the verb try is
followed by the conjunction \"and\" and another verb. Less often I also
her \"I'll try to find him\" which is more natural to me.
I guess that both are correct. But are there any differences ?

I'll try and find him会不会更侧重口语化
而I'll try to find him 更正式呢,我经常在书上看到的是后一种.

I'll try and find him表示试试看能不能找找到他，and 表示目的，语气弱
而I'll try to find him 表示尽力，to 表示目的，语气强
