There is not a permission for searching (use case?)...  but you could check in the theme template file and no output the search form if user is a guest...

something like

        sp_SearchForm($searchForm);

to

        if (!$spThisUser->guest) sp_SearchForm($searchForm);

in your spHead.php template file
