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!

A woman wandered off from an assisted living facility here over six weeks ago...official Search & Rescue lasted for about 5 days. They're still doing unofficial with volunteers on the weekends. Granted, we're not mountainous, but it was a fairly rural area.
