I think "bei" is correct when a search is in progress. "bei einer Suche sein", "an einer Suche beteiligen" but not "an einer Suche sein", IMO Unfortunately, I haven't found a serious proof on the internet. There is a picture with a subheading on http://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Suche which says "...bei der Suche nach...", though.
