The fact that you were present at the location during the search allows the police to detain and frisk you for their safety.
They shouldn't do an extensive search of your person unless:
- Your name is listed on the warrant
- There's reason to believe that you're in possession of an item listed on the warrant
- There's probable cause that you have/will commit a crime.
