Search and destroy was a Vietnam War term; for, find them and then destroy them. Cordon and search sounds like a law enforcement term. Such as, "cordon off the area and conduct a search." Cordon means to seal off the area, usually with a yellow plastic tape, so evidence is not disturbed within that area.
