Search is an American science fiction fantasy series that aired on Wednesday nights on NBC at 10 pm ET, from September 1972 to August 1973.^[1] It ran for 23 episodes, not including the two-hour pilot film originally titled Probe.

It was called Operación Rescate (Rescue Operation) in Argentina. In Brazil the series aired on TV Globo under the title Controle Remoto (Remote Control).
