Search warrants are seldom (in my experience - never) issued with a time limit on the length of time you have to search to discover, or recover, something. Obviously you can't stay there 'forever,' but if the length of time becomes a matter at trial, the court can rule on the "reasonableness" of the time period law enformcement spent at the job.
