I don't know in what way LSEARCH=YES would help. It is certainly possible to avoid searching tasklib/steplib/joblib. But the 806-0C abend indicates that you apparently have created an erroneous situation that you should figure out before moving forward.
If you want just to search LPA + LNKLST (after searching JPQ), then use the DCB parameter and identify the DCB pointed to by CVTLINK. This is special-cased by z/OS.
