Hey All,
A unit expends a MF to search and is fired upon on the MF and pinned. Does the search occur? I found an old thread (noted below) that JR seems to say it does but the rule cited below says that all units making the attempt can be neither pinned nor using assault movement. I don't think you can spend MF if you are pinned so it seems that maybe the act of being pinned stops the search, however, JR seems to indicate in the link below that it does happen.

12.152 SEARCHING: As each Good Order Infantry/Cavalry MMC, or moving stack that contains ≥ one MMC, ends its move it may attempt to reveal concealed enemy units (/Minefields; 12.33) in Accessible hexes (including its own) by expending one additional MF in its present hex and making a Search dr, provided that all units making the attempt are neither Pinned nor using Assault Movement.
