The actual facts when consent is the issue are important. There is no case requiring a specific "yes" answer. You are doing legal research backwards. Without the facts, there is no issue. You go from the facts to the law (through case law) and not the reverse.
Give the facts and we can find the issue. If your issue is the person did not specifically say the term "yes" on the question of "can we search?" then you lose.
Like all fourth amendment issues, it is a totality of the circumstances. What are the circumstances?
