David,

The sear is the mechinism in a gun that holds the hammer, striker or firing pin in battery until the trigger is pulled to release it. In turn firing the gun.

On a Luger it is the sear bar. The horizontal narrow piece that runs along the left side, just above the frame rail. This is spring loaded and holds the firing pin back until the trigger is pulled. Pulling the trigger actuates the L shaped lever attached to the inside of the side plate , which presses on the front end of the sear bar and releases the firing pin/striker, firing the gun.
