[6] : Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)

search, right of, mar. law. the right existing in a belligerent to examine 
and inspect the papers of a neutral vessel at sea. on the continent of 
europe, this is called the right of visit. dalloz, dict. mots prises 
maritimes, n. 104-111. 
     2. the right does not extend to examine the cargo; nor does it extend 
to a ship of war, it being strictly confined to the searching of merchant 
vessels. the exercise of the right is to prevent the commerce of contraband 
goods. although frequently resisted by powerful neutral nations, yet this 
right appears now to be fixed beyond contravention. the penalty for 
violently resisting this right is the confiscation of the property so 
withheld from visitation. unless in extreme cases of gross abuse of his 
right by a belligerent, the neutral has no right to resist a search. 1 kent, 
com. 154; 2 bro. civ. and adm. law, 319; mann. comm. b. 3, c. 11. 

[7] : Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)

the purpose of discovering proof of his guilt in relation to some crime or 
misdemeanor of which be is accused. 
     2. the constitution of the united. states, amendments, art. 4, protects 
the people from unreasonable searches and seizures. 3 story, const. sec. 
1895; rawle, const. ch. 10, p. 127; 10 john. r. 263; 11 john. r. 500; 3 
cranch, 447. 
     3. by the act of march 2, 1799, s. 68, 1 story's l. u. s. 632, it is 
enacted, that every collector, naval officer, and surveyor, or other person 
specially appointed, by either of them, for that purpose, shall have fall 
power and authority to enter any ship or vessel, in which they shall have 
reason to suspect any goods, wares, or merchandise, subject to duty, are 
concealed, and therein to search for, seize, and secure any such goods, 
wares, or merchandise; and if they shall have cause to suspect a concealment 
thereof in any particular dwelling house, store, building, or other place 
they or either of them shall; upon proper application, on oath, to any 
justice of the peace, be entitled to a warrant to enter such house, store, 
or other place, in the day time only, and there to search for such goods; 
and if any shall be found, to seize and secure the same for trial; and all 
such goods, wares, and merchandise, on which the duties shall not have been 
paid, or secured to be paid, shall be forfeited. 

[8] : Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)

search, practice. an examination made in the proper lien office for 
mortgages, liens, judgments, or other encumbrances, against real estate. the

also called a search.
