This is a broad subject and must be narrowed down in order to be able to give a more specific answer. However - as a general response;
1) If a search warrant is being served, it must have been issued after probable cause was shown to the court that there was a lawful necessity to do so. Only after the judge/magistrate approves the affidavit and issues and signs the warrant may it be legally served.
2) For an individual on probation or parole - their PO has authority to conduct a search of the individuals living quarters/residence to ensure that the individual is obeying the provisions of their release.
3) If the police are in fresh pursuit of an individual - and observe, or have reasonable cause to believe, that the fleeing subject entered a location, they may also enter to conduct a search for that person.
If none of these scenarios are the information needed, the question will have to be narrowed down, more specifics given, and re-posted.

Can a private investigator search your house?
No - a private investigator is not an officer of the law. Only a police officer or somebody given the power to search by a Court (such as a Bailiff or Justice of the Peace) can search your home. They will need a warrant if you refuse them permission. A private investigator holds no legal authority whatsoever and is basically just someone who you can hire to snoop on somebody else for you. If they search your house they may be breaking and entering or trespassing.
