Okay, question: postulating mountain forest and mild weather, how long would an official search-and-rescue mission last before shut-down if the person is not found?  I.e., what's the cut-off? 

I'd ask Metafilter, but it'd take a week... 

ETA: I think I have enough data now.  Thank you to everyone who answered!

It probably depends on whether any signs were found that indicated whether the missing person was dead or alive (bloody clothes, etc) A quick search shows several that were called off around a week to nine days.
