The way I understand it, if they have an actual search warrant for the premises, they really don't need to obtain anyone's permission at all, regardless of the age of whomever- if anyone- answers the door. As far as no search warrant and the police come to the door and ASK if they can look around, I am not sure if a minor or non-resident of the home may give it or not; I wouldn't think a four year old would be considered culpable enough to make and understand such a choice...

Additional: The first answer is correct. It is not necesary for a resident to give permission to search, or even be present while the search is being conducted. If the police have a search warrant in their possession, they can enter the premises, even if no one is at home.
