我没仔细考证，不过没觉得有什么差别阿。

《英语惯用法词典》（葛传槼，1962）：
  2. "a search”后面通常接"for',间或接"of;;例如:"She made a search
for(简或用of) her missing ring.". "the search”后面接"of", "for"，或“after";
例如:"He is engaged in the search of(或for，或after) certain rare plants.".
"in search of”一语里用“of";例如:"She went about the garden in search
of her lost ring.”.

LDOCE（updated version）:

search

3.in search of something： looking for something:
Mark went in search of water.

4 [singular] an attempt to find an explanation or solution
search for
the search for a cure

针对楼主的问题：
作为短语，则用in search of ，而不用in search for
search作名词，可搭配“of”"for""after"，意义无区别。
