A method for searching an excitation (or fixed) codebook in a speech coding system. In a speech coding system including a synthesis filter for synthesizing a speech signal, a fixed codebook searcher according to the present invention segments a speech signal frame into a plurality of subframes to generate an excitation signal to be used in a synthesis filter, segments again each of the subframes into a plurality of subgroups, and searches the respective subframes each comprised of a plurality of pulse position/amplitude combinations for pulses. The fixed codebook searcher searches the respective subgroups for a predetermine number of pulses having non-zero amplitude, and generates the searched pulses as an initial vector. Next, the fixed codebook searcher selects a pulse combination including at least one pulse among the pulses of the initial vector, and then substitutes pulses of the selected pulse combination for pulses in other positions in the subgroups. The selection and the substitution are repeatedly performed on all the pulses of the initial vector.
