This was during a spoken conversation. The person who told me this phrase is from Panama and it was mentioned in the context of police officers "haciendo un reviso parcial de la vivienda". Asking more out of curiosity and to maybe add this as a new term in my glossary. I'm wondering if someone from the region of Panama might know if this is a term that's used, or if it might be referring to something else that sounds similar.
An online search gave me the following definitions of this phrase, but only in the following contexts: for a business audit and for a car safety inspection (and certificate). However, it seems they were using it in the context of a partial police search (instead of one requiring a warrant, was what was explained to me).

partial search
We don't know what made it partial - it could be a cursory search rather than taking the whole place apart, or a search of one room. But this seems the most logical translation.
You also say it doesn't require a warrant, which would make sense.
The officers made a partial search of the room and observed some watches on the dresser.

A soldier may consent to a partial search (for example, everything in the room, but not the wall locker).

limited search
> entry and limited search of premises: here, of a residence or abode.
It matters not IMO that *Panamanian* police have acted to Protocol and obtained a search warrant.
> business context: limited audit or limited search and seize under an 'Anton Piller coypright breach order'.
Panamá is not 'me coontry', though there are a few ProZ colleagues from there and who have asked some interesting questions.
All I can add is that our UK translation-office audio-typists, predominantly from Essex and the Thames Estuary - had been wont for 40 years to repeat the maddening typo of the place adjective as: *Panamian*.
Otherwise, refer to the first Discussion Entry for penetrating and incisive questions.

Example sentence:

| Thank you for your reply! And a good point, didn't have to be someone from Panama, just someone familiar or who has come across this term. The references were very insightful. I'll have to add the Anton Piller order to my glossary! |

search with consent
Not sure, but there are limited options on how the police can work, and 'parcial' can refer to personal opinion, permission etc.

'Partial search' seems unlikely in reference to Panama - the police either have a warrant and search everywhere or they don't enter the property. The best idea would be to ask your acquaintance for an explanation, best of luck!
