dc.descriptionWe have carried out the largest search for stable particles with fractional electric charge, based on an oil drop method that incorporates a horizontal electric field and upward air flow. No evidence for such particles was found, giving a 95% C.L. upper limit of $1.17\times 10^{-22}$ particles per nucleon on the abundance of fractional charge particles in silicone oil for $0.18 e \le |Q_{residual}| \le 0.82 e$. Since this is the first use of this new method we describe the advantages and limitations of the method.
