I don't think it's an easy question either which is what I think makes it so interesting.
Do I think they should have abandoned the search right away? No. But what if the search had cost them Daryl's life?
The thing that I keep coming back to is that Rick's motives for continuing the search were as selfish as Shane's motives for abandoning it. Shane wanted to give up because they were wasting resources, time and risking lives.
Conversely, Rick's reasons for continuing the search were (by his own admission) b/c he couldn't deal with the guilt and knowledge that he had failed.
