In my experience, if the loads to bring it out of search mode are very reactive all your bets are off, doesn't matter who made the inverter. The solution could be as simple as changing which brand of CFL they depend on to bring the inverter out of search. Have you tried Euro CFLs vs Chinese? And so on, ad infinitum. Using an incandescent eliminates that variable for you, exactly where I would start on the troubleshooting. If the system is really so tiny that search mode is really needed..........I say add more PV so the batteries are near 100% full almost everynight at sundown. I haven't programmed an inverter for search mode for a long time. Just my two cents.
