If someone violates their restraining order, then a warrant will be put out for their address. Even if law enforcement can't find the suspect on their initial visit, the warrant still stands and can be enacted whenever the person is located.
Additional: Restraining Orders are usually orders of the CIVIL court.
(in the US) Officers of Police Departments cannot enforce civil law - they can only enforce CRIMINAL law. Only if the order was issued by a criminal court could the police take action.
Only Sheriff's Departments possess the legal authority to enforce both civil AND criminal court orders.
In direct answer to the question: The blunt, but perfectly honest answer is; unless the violator is on the scene when they arrive, they will probably NOT conduct a manhunt for them. You will just have to keep calling them back if/when the violator shows up again.

What happens in California if the plaintiff violates a restraining order?
If the plaintiff (meaning the one who asked for the restraining order) violates the very order they requested, and seeks out the other party then they could be subject to the same penalty as the person against whom the order was sought. The options which the judge may exercise are broad. It can become very complicated depending upon the restrictions the judge set in place. Since it was a TEMPORARY order - the judge COULD just vacate the order and dissolve it.
