Wikipedia article




"'The Search Is Over'" is a 1985 power ballad by the American rock band Survivor. It was the band's third single and second top-ten hit from their 1984 album 'Vital Signs'.



Background



Former keyboardist/guitarist for the band and co-songwriter Jim Peterik told Songfacts: "It wasn't about my life as much as a friend of mine who had a girlfriend really a play pal throughout their growing up years and never thought it could be anything more than that. It was looking him straight in the face that this was the girl of his destiny, and he looked everywhere to find that dream girl only to come back to the sandbox."

Charts



It peaked at No. 4 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 the week of July 13, 1985, and finished at No. 48 on the year-end 'Billboard' Hot 100 chart for 1985. The song also spent four weeks atop the adult contemporary chart, Survivor's only chart-topper on this tally.Whitburn, Joel (1996).
