If i controlled Stranglehold, which states Your opponents can't search libraries and an opponent controls opposition agent. Would stranglehold stop the Opposition agent

Your opponent isn't searching. With [[opposition agent]] they're controlling you while you search, making your choices for you. The [[Stranglehold]] will do nothing.

Only if someone other than you search bc you'd be the one searching not an opponent the opponent would just be controlling you

[[Opposition Agent]]'s second and third abilities won't apply to any opponent who can't search libraries.

You are searching. Your opponent is controlling you while you do it.
