Legal document to burn and burn, entrenching women’s tirade (6,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

search warrant

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'legal document' is the definition.
(document allowing a search to take place)

'burn and burn entrenching women's tirade' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'burn' could be 'sear' (sear can mean to burn) and 'sear' is present in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is located in the answer.
'women' could be 'w' (standard abbreviation) and 'w' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for search warrant that I've seen before include "Police right of entry" , "legal document" , "permit to probe" , "Permission to look for stolen goods" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
