right of searchnoun [mass noun]The right of a ship of a belligerent state to stop and search a neutral merchant vessel for prohibited goods.Yet during international tensions over the Eastern question in 1840, and over the British right of search of French merchant ships in 1842, any association with a British cause seemed unpatriotic....- The northern powers (Russia, Prussia, Denmark, and Sweden) formed a league of armed neutrality to resist the British right of search at sea.
- In January 1801 a maritime convention in St Petersburg attempted to resolve the problems but the right of search continued to cause difficulties for many years.
