Publication history

The copyright was registered August 12, 1907 to Joseph W. Stern and Company of New York.

Like most Joplin compositions, Searchlight Rag was still under copyright during the ragtime revival of the 1970s, and the holder of copyrights for this piece, Fig Leaf Rag and Rose Leaf Rag withheld permission for their inclusion in the definitive New York Public Library edition of Joplin's works and other collections.
