The conditional of buscar is regular and has no spelling change: buscaría, buscarías, buscaría, buscaríamos, buscaríais, buscarían.

It gives advice (yo que tú, buscaría otro trabajo), asks favours (¿me buscarías el número?), imagines plans (si ganaras la lotería, ¿buscarías una casa en la playa?) and reports promises: dijo que buscaría a alguien para ayudarnos.
