does the psionic power touchsight work for finding all traps or is it usless for finding something other than creatures

If the trap is invisible, then my guess is it would be quite useful. Other than that, I don't see how it's all that mechanically different from visual detection. You roll Listen and Spot checks as normal, and so I would imagine you treat Search checks the same way.

Touchsight (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/touchsight.htm)

It says "You do not need to make Spot or Listen checks to notice creatures", so why your saying you would still need to roll those confuses me. I'm wondering if it cancels out those for creatures, then could it also feel out traps in the same way or would you just feel the mechanics and not know what the trap does?
