What about a simple rule that after combat is over, everyone gets to search the room once. No searching during combat ever. I suppose if they wanted to search a second time, they could take a cheese addition to the wheel as normal at the end of an initiative without combat.
I applied this house rule with my kids except in chapters with special searches (i.e., fork or catnip). Those instances keep with the theme in my opinion. "Quick, find a fork Tilda while I keep these rats at bay."
