They do have the power (in the UK) to stop and search you for specific purposes. They couldn't search you while you are walking though. They have to inform you first.Added: (in the US) Upon "reasonable suspicion" an officer can detain you for a short time to speak with you and even conduct a pat-down of your outer clothing (Terry v. Ohio). This type of lawful stop must be documented.
A police officer can stop and detain a person if the officer has a reasonable suspicion the person is involved in a crime. Performing a "pat down" requires an additional level of suspicion that the person may be carrying a weapon that could be used to harm the officer. Examples could includethe person detained is a known or apparent member of a gang that routinely carries firearms,the person fits the description of a suspect in an armed robbery where a firearm was displayed or used,the person has a bulge in their clothing characteristic of a weapon.Reasonable suspicion to stop and detain does not, in itself, amount to the level of suspicion required to do a pat down for weapons.

An officer, also, has the ability to conduct a search of the suspect after an arrest has been made (Search Incident to Lawful Arrest).

No, a Police Officer cannot just randomly stop you on the streets and start searching. In the case Terry v. Ohio (1968), it's ruled that Police must have reasonable suspicion that you are about to commit a crime or have witnessed you committing a crime in order to detain you to stop and frisk. If a Police Officer detains you and searches you without your permission or reasonable suspicion, then this officer has violated your 4th amendment constitutional right to unreasonable searches and seizures.
My son was pulled over by local police because music from sons' vehicle loud. The officer called for an additional officer to pull sons' vehicle over.
