Historical Applications
The 4ᵗʰ amendment was made from the colonials experience in England where they experienced unjustified search and seizures and wanted to make sure that this new nation would never have to suffer through such a thing. However, the way they made the bill was so that you could not simply hide in your house and hide illegal things, they made it so that the police or government have to get a warrant first.

Today's Application
The way this amendment is in use today is close to the same since it was made except that there are a few new warrants one example would be a "No knock" warrant where the police do not have to make there presence know to the people they are searching.
