The [[Yuktobania]]n military operated Searchers as short-range recon drones. At the onset of the [[Circum-Pacific War]], a Yuktobanian spy ship deployed several Searchers near [[Sand Island Air Force Base]]. The [[Wardog Squadron]] destroyed all of them before they could return to the vessel.{{Ref|AC5-M02|[[Open War]], ''[[Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War]]''.}}

The [[Estovakia]]n military modified Searchers to provide guidance for the [[P-1112 Aigaion]]'s [[Nimbus missile]] system. The [[Republic of Emmeria Air Force]] first learned of the drones during the [[battle of the Selumna Peaks]]. [[Garuda Team]] shot down most of the drones to help other Emmerian pilots in retreating from the area.{{Ref|AC6-M07|[[Selumna Peak]], ''[[Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation]]''.}} The Aigaion later deployed the drones again during the [[liberation of San Loma]], but Emmeria's foreknowledge of them allowed them to dodge the Nimbus strikes and minimize casualties.{{Ref|AC6-M08|[[San Loma Assault]], ''[[Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation]]''.}}
