He was a part of the Conservative caucus during the period in which Minnesota's legislature was nonpartisan, becoming officially a Republican representative in 1973. He rose to chair the Higher Education committee, and eventually was named Assistant Minority Leader by his caucus in 1975. After the election of 1978, the house was divided equally between Independent-Republicans and the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. Searle was chosen as speaker in a compromise between the two parties. In May, Democrats gained a seat, giving the party a majority in the body. Searle was named Minority Leader by his caucus, and was replaced by Fred C. Norton. Searle retired from the House after the 1980 election. He later served as president of the Minnesota State University Board.
