Gamma-ray bursts are believed to be produced in highly-relativistic collimated outflows. Support for this comes among others from the association of the times of detected breaks in the decay of afterglow light curves with the collimation angle of the jets. An alternative approach to estimate a limit on the collimation angle uses GRB afterglows without detected prompt-emission counterparts. Here we report on the analysis of a dedicated survey for the search of these orphan afterglows using the Wide Field Imager at the 2.2m telescope at La Silla, Chile.
