Yes, I want the party rogue to search for traps while granting the excitement of retries that's behind taking 20. It had happened in previous chapter by the way, nothing new, just pointed this out. So, as soon as Lugar states the level of risk he takes I'll proceed with the DM rolls of searches (up to the first natural 20 or the first critical failure).
One more thing; there's a substantial difference between failures of a search and a disable attempt. Search critically fails "if DM says so" (mostly, natural 1) but disable critically fails if you fail by 5 or more... Point is, search is always "a bit" dangerous but disable gets more dangerous as the DC of the trap increases.
