Search then move is definitely better overall — especially in a pretty uncertain time right now.
There is some nuance here. When I made the only major move of my life, I got in touch with a recruiter ahead of time who could help set me up with opportunities and then got my foot in the door in the local job market. I wound up moving before getting things fully wrapped up, but I had a really solid expectation of how things were ultimately going to shake up by then, and I wound up taking a job I hadn't yet applied for before moving.
Still, best case scenario is having something lined up, but there might be some sensible middle-ground worth considering.
