The U.S. Constitution in the 4th Amendment dictates a warrant must say where it is to be executed, what the police are allowed to look for, and if it's for a person, must identify them. There may be additional restrictions under a state constitution or state laws.
When it's a search warrant, what the police are allowed to look for is critical because the search must be reasonable. Say the cops have a warrant to search your place for a stolen baby grand piano. Okay, we know what a piano looks like, they can only search places where it would be reasonable for a piano to be located. So, say a cop looks in a desk drawer and finds crystal meth, is it admissible in court? No, because it's unreasonable to expect to find a baby grand piano in the drawer of a desk. But if the cop finds the crystal meth in the stolen piano, then it is admissible.
