I'm not really sure why you would check if a component exists before using it; CakePHP will automatically produce errors if a component could not be found?

CakePHP 2.3 uses 'lazy loading', which means that the component is not actually loaded/constructed until it is actually used. This means a lot less overhead, and will make your application work faster.

To indicate that you may use a certain class (component), use App::uses(); See Loading Classes

In your situation, to load the Prg component from the Search Plugin;

App::uses('Prg', 'Search.Controller/Component');

However, to use a component, just add it to the $components array of your Controller, and CakePHP should handle it automatically;

public $components = array(
    // Pluginname.Componentname
    'Search.Prg',
);
