Very. This is why Detectives are taught to be broad in their interpretation of what they are looking for in the description in any warrant. They look for illegal drugs, not a small stash of pot. They also look for any other related items that might indicate drug-dealing, which means large sums of cash and guns. A search warrant for a person is typically just that, thay are looking for a person, and not anything else, although they can confiscate anything else illegal, if they see it.
US Answer Only: A search warrant is the instrument which protects the citizen against unreasonable searches and seizures of their person, papers and belongings. The search warrant is the safeguard by which The State is kept in check from running amok. In the process of a search warrant, The State is required to demonstrate to a judge (usually) that the thing to be sought and seized is (usually) either illegal to possess, or further evidence of a crime. The search warrant must (usually) pass muster from one's District Attorney and local judge prior to execution. Essentially, the search warrant presents the argument as to why the intrusion into someone's privacy does not constitute a violation of their fourth amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. The document must lay out very specific particulars which must be "within the four corners of the document," meaning that the issue of "particularity" must be satisfied with regard to thing sought, location, and what are the facts known to The State that justify the intrusion.

Each state sets its own laws governing the issuance of search warrants; which means that for each state there are different laws/rules and the answer to this question really does depend on the state jurisdiction under which the warrant is being issued. In general, we are talking about including the name of the person against whom the warrant is being issued with the exact address/location subject to the search, and, most importantly, the specific objects or items that are being searched for. For example, a search warrant mentioning that the objects sought are laptops and documents, will not cover other items found such as furniture or foods.
