It is an interesting question, and an argument could probabably be made either way. However, I would say "no," that is not a RESPA violation. RESPA is a consumer protection statute and the search is not prepared for the benefit of the consumer; rather, it is for the benefit of the agent and underwriter so they may prepare a title policy for the consumer.
