One of the most basic spells known to Nanoha, yet arguably one of her most iconic, Area Search is Nanoha's basic search-type spell. After a three second casting time, four spheres of magical energy about the size of a medium beach ball are summoned, using a portion of Nanoha's mana. Nanoha then designates a target area and target(s), and the spheres will fly away in search of the designated targets. The spheres themselves use very little mana to be sustained, but will dissipate once they have consumed all of their initial mana supply. Spheres detect targets by sight only, and are restricted by line of sight, visibility and other things that would conceal something from the naked eye. Each sphere is entirely independent once summoned, but cannot be given new instructions after being first sent out. Upon finding their target(s), the data is sent back to Raising Heart, and the sphere will consume its remaining mana to send the data package, dissipating in the process. The range at which the spheres are able to travel is about the size of a large town, though it will take some time to cover the entire area.

The upgraded form of Area Search, Wide Area Search is Nanoha's wide-range search-type spell. After a four second casting time, twelve spheres of magical energy about the size of a medium beach ball are summoned, using a moderate portion of Nanoha's mana. Nanoha then designates a target area and target(s), and the spheres will fly away in search of the designated targets. The spheres themselves use very little mana to be sustained, but will dissipate once they have consumed all of their initial mana supply. Spheres detect targets by sight only, and are restricted by line of sight, visibility and other things that would conceal something from the naked eye.

Upon finding their target(s), the data is sent back to Raising Heart, and the sphere will consume its remaining mana to send the data package, dissipating in the process. The range at which the spheres are able to travel is about the size of an entire city, though it will take considerable time to cover the entire area.
