A Blanket Warrant is a warrant that allows police to search multiple places for evidence without saying exactly what they are looking for. This comes from a judge usually on Murder or Drug charge cases.
More information is necessary in order to answer. I have never heard of a "blanket" warrant or any warrant that does not specifically state what is being searched for. As far as a specific location where a search may be conducted - as long as the warrant describes the premises to be searched (street address - name of business - lot & plot number - etc) there is no requirement that it state SPECIFICALLY WHERE within the premises may or may not be searched.

You are to be safe and secure in your persons, homes, papers, property blah blah Basically people can't search your property unless they have a Search Warrant. The search warrant must have a Judge's signature, probably cause, and specifically states what property can be searched. For example if the search warrant gives permission to search someone's house but does not state they can search the person's car, the police officer or whoever is searching cannot search the car.
