the psionicist gets detect secrets. either keep it running, or cast it when you are in an area where you know there are items you want to pick up.
edit: doh - i see now you dont have a psionicist in the new party.
i'd say just do without - there's very few items in the game that searching is critical for. but if you are concerned, you have a few choices (as outlined by wearboar and rezdude)
- get access to the mage spellbook (ie dual-class someone to mage or samurai)
- get access to the psionic spellbook (ie dual-class someone to monk or psionicist)
- get access to the ranger auto-search abilitiy (ie dual-class someone to ranger)
- start running up senses on someone. it will take about 5 levels before you notice the improvement
for your party, i like rezdude's suggestion. alchemist to ranger would be immediately effective. however, it would undermine your attacking magic capability pretty severely.
however, if you dont have the minimum stats to qualify for the switch right away, i'd keep the alchemist and start building senses on the valkyrie. i find that, because they use polearm, they actually develop quite quickly as a fighter, so a few points in senses isnt a big deal (in small parties, i'll often use the valk as a default mythologist!)
