More information is necessary to answer this question. Define what you mean by "outside" your house - WHERE outside? Did they have a warrant? Was somebody being chased (fresh pursit), dropped them and then ran inside? Were they found outside after sombody inside threw them out a window? Etc? Etc? WAY too much missing infrmation in order to give an intelligent answer. Re-word and re-submit.

What are ways police search for drugs in a house?
The police can search a house on suspicion of the presence of drugs is a couple conditions are met. Firstly, if they have gone before a judge and been granted a warrant, then the house can be searched in accordance with the warrant. Second, if the police can demonstrate probable cause to suspect that there is illegal activity occurring in the house (i.e. the possession of drugs) then it can be searched but that search can be challenged on 4th Amendment grounds.
If the police detain a person with a weapon outside a car and search the car without asking is it an illegal search?
A cop is not allowed to search your car without consent UNLESS they suspect that illegal activities are going on inside the vehicle, such as an open container (alcohol) or illegal drugs. If they suspect that you are hiding something illegal, they legally (as police officers) have the right to search your vehicle, and detain you as they do it. If you had a BB gun outside and were talking to someone in a car, the officer might wonder what's going on, and suspicion (instincts) would tell him that something's up. The officer might think that the BB gun is going to be used to steal the guy's car. Anyway, if he suspected that the driver of the car and you were doing something illegal (possibly selling/distributing illegal drugs), he might decide to search the vehicle, at which point he has every right.
If the police can enter the home can they also arrest the homeowner for the drugs that are in plain view?
If the police are in the home legally, and the drugs are in plain view, then yes, the police may seize the drugs and arrest the homeowner for possession of the drugs. However, in my opinion, the officer would be better off obtaining a search warrant, although it is not required.
Can police enter your home if your not at home and is it possible for them to plant drugs in my home when I am on the way to the hospital?
Police may lawfully enter a home by consent, with a search warrant, or in the case of exigent (unusual or emergency) circumstances, such as when they believe a crime is in progress inside. While it is possible for police to enter your home and plant drugs there, just as it is possible for anyone else to do so, the entry would be unlawful.

If someone says there are drugs in a house can police search?
In the United States, we are protected by the Constitution from such searches. Police may only search if: 1) they ask and get permission, or 2) they have a warrant. A warrant must be issued by a judge who makes the decision on whether or not there is sufficient evidence to indicate a likely crime.Most drugs are not illegal. Most houses are full of all sorts of drugs. You are probably referring to contraband drugs.
Can you be searched in your home for drugs?
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.
