You might try having a unique "control block" being the causer, rather
than ch, and run clean_events() on that... some pseudo code, assuming
you have a player descripter value for the search control block:

struct event_control_block {
  struct char_data *ch;
  whatever else you might need;
};

.....
do_search() {
    struct event_control_block *ecb;

    if (GET_SEARCH_EVENT(ch))
        return; /* they're already searching */

    ecb = malloc(...);
    ecb->ch = ch;
    GET_SEARCH_EVENT(ch) = ecb;
    add_event(ecb,.....,event_do_search);
}

.....

EVENT(event_do_search)
{
....
.... free(GET_SEARCH_EVENT(causer->ch));
}
