Easy. I enter with a block.
EDIT:
GUESS: You can enter with things whose names are also patterns in Life.
We were done with that already!

No for everything except *find
I enter with a semi-snark
Yeah, patterns contain agars is also what I was going for with the greyship suggestion. But that doesn't explain why the names of search programs are also allowed...
Can I enter with onion rings, scrubber, or a piston?
My guess was things that used/were agars or something.
So because scrubber was seperate from piston, I still have absolutely no clue.
Close... think about properties of agars

You can enter with a Herschel conduit, not a Herschel itself.

Think about something that can be done to greyships.

ikpx?
EDIT: Oops, didn't see danny's post. But this still didn't explain why gfind, ofind, zfind, ikpx are allowed, but LifeFind and LLS are not allowed. By the way, LifeFind can search agars. Or probably that's because it only search for patterns which fits in a given bounding box? Maybe I'm totally off.
Can I enter with ants? Can I enter with a wickstrecher?

But yeah, I think your (and Dani's) guess is correct. I find it a bit weird to describe a search program as being extensible in the same way as a pattern, but I suppose it sort of works.

Yes to all. And your guess is correct.
gfind, ofind, zfind, and ikpx extend partial spaceships and oscillators. (LifeFind does not extend agars!)
