Actually that was Anthony's comment. But if it helps:
Basics of squad/platoon level infantry operations are in US Army Field Manual 7-8. They have a few diagrams of typical spacing, though the days of drilling to precise regulation distances are long gone. For other tasks, you might try searching for "search theory" and "search and rescue". Various organizations have plans for categories of search, depending what you're looking for, all the way down to those searches you've seen on cop shows, where llines of people a yard apart are sweeping a field and looking for evidence.
