It is possible that if the police were there at the time the drugs were sold then an exigent circumstance exception could apply.

However that is not normally the case. Most often the information about drug sales are presented to a magistrate and a warrant is obtained. The police may then do a controlled buy to confirm drugs are in the house immediately prior to the warrant service.

What is solid evidence in Florida to search home for drugs?

The Fourth Amendment guarantees against searches conducted without probable cause. Probable cause, in this context, would be information that would cause a reasonable person to believe there are unlawful drugs in the home. This information can come from many sources--informants who may have been in the home and seen the drugs, officers who have watched drugs being delivered to or sold out of the home, tips received from neighbors, etc. Although a home may be searched on probable cause alone, in most cases officers will apply for a search warrant before searching a home. Issuance of the search warrant is dependent on the judge signing the warrant agreeing that the information supplied by the police is sufficient to support probable cause. When the judge does agree and signs the warrant, he is saying he believes the police have "solid evidence" to search the home.
