==Biography== Searle was born in Gibraltar, at the old St Bernard's Hospital, where his mother worked. He was one of the first students admitted to Bayside Comprehensive School. His first job was at the ''House of Sacarello'' coffeehouse.<ref name="TGM"/>

After his time at Bayside, Searle travelled to the United Kingdom to study at the University of Essex, where he graduated in literature, and earned a Master of Arts in Sociology of literature. It was also in Essex that he met his wife, Sattie. In 1984, the couple returned to Gibraltar, where Searle began working for the ''Gibraltar Chronicle''. In 1996, he became editor of the newspaper, replacing Francis Cantos.<ref name="TGM"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chronicle.gi/bicentenery/preved.htm|title=Previous Editors|editor=Gibraltar Chronicle|access-date=2012-09-29|archive-date=20 November 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121120022812/http://www.chronicle.gi/bicentenery/preved.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>
