    Does "search your phone" include any externally-hosted content that can be accessed by said phone?

      Yes of course. Basically they have ruled the entire warrant requirement for searches and prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures is suspended within 100 miles of any border or international airport (which is most of the US).

        How true is that? Can police search a house without warranty in NYC say and have that entered as evidence (plus anything that lead from that) in court?

          no, because that would clearly be an unreasonable search
