Do police have the right to search your vehicle because you have a felon riding in it with you?
In general, the presence of a felon in a vehicle does not automatically give police the right to search the vehicle. However, if there is reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed or that evidence related to a crime is present in the vehicle, police may be able to search it, depending on the specific circumstances and applicable laws. It is important to consult with a legal professional for advice tailored to your specific situation.
Can the officers search the automobile again two hours later without obtaining a new consent to search?
This would depend on the reason the car was searched in the first place, and the circumstances at the time of the second search. If permission is given to search (a consent search), the permission can be withdrawn. If the officers have not developed probable cause to continue searching, the search must stop. In the sceanario described, it is possible that probable cause developed to search the vehicle a second time. If so, then the search would be permissible. If the first search was by consent and the consent was not withdrawn, then one could argue that a consent search could resume two hours later.Additional: Also - if the vehicle was impounded and towed to a secure facility, an "inventory search' may be conducted to inventory. account for, and secure any property contained in the vehicle. However such an "inventory search" may not be used as a subterfuge for searching for, and seizing, any contraband or evidence which the vehicle may contain. For that purpose, a search warrant would still have to be applied for and granted.

If permission given to search car by someone other then car owner is it illegal search?
If the person giving permission to search the car is not the owner or authorized to give consent, then the search could be considered illegal and any evidence obtained may not be admissible in court. It is important for law enforcement to obtain consent from the legal owner of the vehicle or have a valid search warrant to conduct a search.
What is the legal definition of inventory search?
I am no lawyer, nor is this intended as legal advice. An inventory search is sometimes performed when a car is impounded with the stated purpose of having a record of items in the car so that an individual cannot say that something was stolen etc. The truth is that this is often used when a driver refuses consent to search a vehicle and the officer cannot clearly articulate probable cause to search nor is there a K9 unit nearby. The fficer can then elect to take the speeder or faulty equipment offender and book them in a station and have the vehicle impounded. This allows them to perform a warrantless search, and the fruits of the search still be admissible as evidence in any criminal proceeding.
