SearchMan.EXE

SearchMan.EXE is the NetNavi operated by Raika. His design is based upon a camouflaged soldier, and he is good with long range attacks. SearchMan is a rather serious Navi who follows orders well, but this doesn't stop him from disobeying them when his friends are in danger. He first appears in the Red Sun Tournament from MegaMan Battle Network 4, and later joins Team ProtoMan in MegaMan Battle Network 5.

MegaMan Battle Network 4
In MegaMan Battle Network 4, Raika and SearchMan are competitors in the Red Sun tournament.

Rockman.EXE 4.5 Real Operation
SearchMan is a unlockable playable character in this non-canon game.

MegaMan Battle Network 5
In MegaMan Battle Network 5: Team ProtoMan, SearchMan is imitated by a fake SearchMan to trick MegaMan into believing that SearchMan is attempting to destroy Gargcastle, while another Navi imitates MegaMan to convince SearchMan of the same. They meet deep inside Gargcastle, and SearchMan is beaten, upon which the fakes reveal themselves. Both SearchMan and MegaMan forgive each other, team up, and destroy the fake Navis.

SearchMan can be used in Battle Network 5, and has a special liberation ability known as "PanelSearch". This allows him to search six panels outward in whatever direction he is looking, and if a trap is located, he will commence a virus battle. Liberating the viruses means that the traps are removed, leaving the Item Panels alone. In battle, SearchMan can use the Search Satellite, which has a cross hair move up and down the enemy ranks, and a laser is fired when the player presses the A-button. The laser damages whatever it hits, and does a little damage to anything in the same column or rank within one square of the laser. His charge shot is the use of the Arm Mounted Rifle which shoots three charged shots at his enemy regardless of his location and theirs.

In the DS version of the game (MegaMan Battle Network 5: Double Team DS), if the player is using Team Colonel's storyline and has NumberMan and a TP chip, NumberMan can be swapped out in the battle for SearchMan.

MegaMan NT Warrior Axess
His first appearance in the anime is in episode 12 of MegaMan NT Warrior Axess, where he has the mission to protect programs from ShadowMan. He was able to delete ShadowMan.EXE.

In a later episode, DesertMan was making Mettaur's invisible and using them to steal Dark Chips. SearchMan was able to hit some with paint, and followed them to DesertMan's lair. There SearchMan and MegaMan battle him, but they were overwhelmed. When MegaMan was grabbed and hung over lava, SearchMan made the decision to freeze the lava to save him, instead of deleting DesertMan. This gave DesertMan the chance to launch an attack on SearchMan, doing critical damage. This helped SearchMan and MegaMan have a connection, and MegaMan was given the Search Soul. This gave MegaMan the power to defeat DesertMan.

SearchMan makes many other appearances throughout the series, including helping ThunderMan.EXE take on BrightMan, CloudMan, StarMan, and SwordMan. They were able to delete BrightMan, helping ThunderMan get revenge, while the others escaped. In episode 40, Lan and MegaMan travel to Sharo to meet with Raika due to a Dimensional Area being summoned in Sharo by ColdMan. Lan was the only one able to enter the Dimensional Area, but Raika grabbed onto Lan as he Cross Fuses and enters with them. After Lan and MegaMan defeat ColdMan, he retreats back into the Net, but SearchMan is there and shoots him, sending him back to Nebula.

Search Soul
By sacrificing a Hide Chip in Battle Network 4 and a Cursor Chip in Battle Network 5, MegaMan can take control of the Search Soul, which gives him SearchMan's rifle. MegaMan cannot move while firing the rifle and he is also given the special effect of shuffling for chips. In the custom window, a special button will be on the bottom of the selection screen which says "shuffle". By clicking it (up to three times), MegaMan can shuffle through his folder at random for five more chips than what he was given.

Search Chaos
By sacrificing the DarkCircle chip, MegaMan gains rust colored armor and retains the shuffle ability, but loses the Search Rifle in favor of the Dark Chip as a charge attack. This allows MegaMan to pelt seven out of the nine panels on the enemy ranks with powerful bullets. It only lasts one turn.

Trivia

 * While the original Search Man was comical and ridiculous, SearchMan as a Navi is the exact opposite, being strict, loyal to his NetOp, and has never made a fool of himself on the show. (He's the only main character to not have done so.)
