"... the guard is completely lost in a world of his own and doesn't react even when you tread on his toes"
Shouldn't you use passive perception (even with disadvantage)?
The way I do it, if someone says they are actively searching, they roll and take what they roll. If they are not, then I use the passive score to let them know if they see something. However, I have played with DMs that use a rule where if you roll less than you passive then you can use your passive score.
