A document with classified markings was removed from former Vice President Mike Pence’s Indiana home Friday during a search by the FBI

The FBI is also expected to search Pence’s office in Washington, DC, in the coming days, sources told CNN.

The Pence team, in talks with the Justice Department ahead of the search, expressed that they wanted to completely cooperate. The Pence team does not believe there are classified documents either at his home or at his office as they conducted what they considered an extensive search themselves, a source said.

Will the search of Pence's office in Washington, DC find any more documents that are marked as classified?

(Note that if they are marked as classified, that counts regardless of whether the documents are currently classified or have since been declassified.)

Resolves when reliable media reporting states either that such documents were or were not found. If there is no conclusive reporting either way within 3 months, resolves N/A. If no such search happens within 3 months, resolves NO.

There is a report that the search was fruitless:

Justice Department officials searched former vice president Mike Pence’s Washington office and found no documents with classified markings, an aide to Pence said Friday.

The post cover their ass by including the "aide says", but it seems if that were not true there would have been some kind of follow up.
Later reporting (1st of March) states


Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed separate special counsels to investigate the handling of the Trump and Biden documents. He did not appoint a special counsel for the Pence documents.

My guess is that, if they found more documents, there would have been an investigation.

@AlexbGoode thanks for the link. If we can't find any reporting saying otherwise, this seems sufficient for a no resolution.
