Hello,
I'm looking for a few spells. the first would be anything that would give a bonus to search checks.

the other is any and all that include any type of dispel magic.

thanks

+20 to Search is one of (if perhaps the least noteworthy) of that art thou (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20011019a)'s effects.

Are there any parameters of your search? Are you limited to a maximum level? What list(s) do you have access to?

Instant search (SpC) lets you make a Search check as a free action (swift action casting time on the spell itself) and gives a +2 insight bonus on the check. Insight of good fortune (PHB II) doesn't give a bonus, but lets you roll twice and take the better on skill checks (among other things) once during its duration. Living prints (SpC) negates rain- or time-based penalties on checks for the purpose of tracking (as long as the tracks were made within the last 30 days). Marked object (SpC) gives a +10 bonus on Search and Survival to find the spell focus's owner. One with the land gives a +2 competence bonus on Search (and a handful of other skills). Spontaneous search (SpC) lets you search a 20-foot-radius burst in one round and treats your Search as if you had taken 10. Tojanida sight (Stormwrack) gives a +4 bonus on Spot and Search (with a couple other effects).

Any spell that boosts skill checks in general will obviously help with Search checks, as well.

So for some background, Our skill monkey (swift hunter archer) just died, and we needed a we needed a meat shield more than a scout. We have a warlock, Mystic Theurge, duskblade and now a Paladin/cleric/ordained champion. the warlock has been doing more of the scouting anyway so he is taking most of dutys of the skill monkey. However we are trying to fill in the gaps with wands. So we need a wand to help with search. even a way to gain a +10 to the check would be great. we also just got a wand of knock and detect secret doors etc,

my new chara is the paladin and i have the inquisition domain which gives +4 to dispel checks so id like to add different dispel type spells to my list.

books: core, all faerons, all completes, BOED, BOVD, Spell comp, PH2, races of, environments like sandstorm, Lords of madness lebris mortis etc. basically most except eberron.

hope this helps.

Maybe this helps Rogue-less Party Ideas (https://forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php?604715-3-5-Rogue-less-Party-Ideas).

Besides aforementioned, there are also:
Find Traps
Expose the Dead (Spell Compendium)
Marked Man (Dragon #325)
Seeker’s Chant (Dragon #326)

Imbrue (Dragon #336) allow you to use Int-based skills of a creature (Elemental or Outsider) you're "imbrued" with - such as Search skill

Well, the books you mentioned have Divine Insight, which gives a +8 insight bonus to any one skill check at min CL, there's also Guidance of the Avatar here (http://archive.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/sb/sb20010504a) which gives a +20 competence to any one skill check, Dragon #350 has a 1st-level spell Skillful Moment that let's you take 20 on your next skill check, and Dragon Annual #5 pg. 87 has a 3rd-level spell Eagle Eyes which gives +20 untyped to search and spot for 10 min/level, and a 4th-level spell Sudden Mastery, which gives +20 competence to the skill of your choice, also for 10 min/level.

Wield Skill(MoF) gives you a +10 to your next skill check

It was updated in PGtF to only be +5.
