Angle: 90
Flag: Offset area by angle must be set, offset area by radius is optional (extends radius by unit's radius)
Launch Location: Source Unit (must be the unit that you want to get the angle from)
You could use the "Center at Launch" Flag and set the Impact Location to Target Point and the Launch Location to Source Unit, at least if you are using this Search Effect in an Effect Chain that has a Target Point and you want your cone to target towards this Point. If it is an instant effect you could do the same with a workaround by setting up a Persistent in front of your Search Effect that has an Offset of (0,-1) from your Source Unit.
Might only be available for the HotS Editor though, I'm not sure whether or not it was added in the 2.0.4 WoL Patch. I know I had the same problem with aligning Search Area arcs before HotS for specific kinds of abilities (Like Transient Abilities that can fire at a 360 arc with offset Persistent Effects as the root effect), but the Center At Launch flag that was added with HotS helped with that.
How can I make a seach effect, only affect 90 degrees in front of the caster (45 degrees to each side)?

well, I did that already, but it searches the 90 degrees on the south side of the unit. I set the;
Search: Search Flags + Offset Area By Angle
Am I missing something?

Oh, well I changed the launch location to caster unit, and now it works :)
I am having a behavior use the search every 0.1 sec - for context.
