Merchandise Then During the 70's, Gene Roddenberry's company Lincoln Enterprises sold Search merchandise, GAF featured the second episode "The Gold Machine" in a Viewmaster packet and Bantam Books published two novels.

Postmarked 2/73. Note that not all of the episodes are listed--January episodes are missing. "The Consortium" was aired under the name "The Adonis File". "The Carrier" was aired under the name "Countdown to Panic". It's reported that Majel Rodenberry was quoted at a convention in the 1980's to have said that it was Robert H. Justman who got Lincoln Enterprises to sell Search merchandise. Justman had close ties to Gene Rodenberry, first as associate producer, and later co-producer of Star Trek. (And later on as producer of the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.)

Before the fall season they again showed this pilot, but changed it's name to "Search" to match the series. When local stations would show this pilot/movie, they showed the version known as "Search".
