Well, they never look that hard. The Police tend not to look for runaways and is not really much of a priority for them, but usually the longest they will look is 30 days. Now, if someone a police officer finds you're a runaway they will report you, but they don't really look that long. How hard do they look? Not "that" hard in the beggining, but they don't really even look at all later on. Ofcouse, like i said if you show up they'll take you, but other than that... Believe me, I know. I've ranaway before.

Does the police look for runaways in OR or Kansas?

Yes and no, all runaway children once reported go into a national computer base that is available to all law enforcement agencies throughout the United States. However they do not actively look for runaways. Although, age is always a consideration. Police are always looking, but are more preoccupied with more serious crimes and offenses that need their attention and this is true in most of the US. There are some non profit organizations that specialize in locating and returning runaway children nationwide and at not cost.

If you are 18 years old and leave the home without your parent's consent can they call 911 and will the police search for you?

The answer to this question is complicated. How did the parents call into the police? As a health and welfare check? If this is how they called it in, then yes they can go look for you. They would on anyone of any age in VA. If they called you in for a missing person, no they have to wait the time limit for that. I believe its 24 hours. If they called you in as a runaway and you are 18 they would not treat this as a runaway situation unless you were mentally handicapped.
