It may include fortuitous, but if it is fortuitously finding what you
expected, where is the happy accident in that?

I wouldn't call it serendipitous if that was what you were looking for,
fortuitous maybe, but not serendipitous.


You can call it either. The first definition of serendipitous includes
fortuitous. (Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary V3.0)

serendipitous, adj.
1. come upon or found by accident; fortuitous: serendipitous scientific
discoveries.
