That spell becomes the topmost object on the stack, and the currently resolving spell or ability continues to resolve, which may include casting other spells this way. If an effect specifically instructs or allows a player to cast a spell during resolution, he or she does so by following the steps in rules 601.2a–i, except no player receives priority after it’s cast. (Rule 116.3 explains how a player gets priority)Ħ08.2f If an effect gives a player the option to pay mana, he or she may activate mana abilities before taking that action. Magic has a system called priority that determines if you can cast a spell, and no player gains priority during the resolution of another spell.

So by the time your opponent was searching for cards, you would have had to already passed and chosen not to respond to or counter Jarad's Orders. When both players pass, then the top spell of the stack resolves, which is when you follow the instructions on the card*. When a player casts a spell, it goes on the stack, and then each player has a chance to respond to it by casting other things, such as Countersquall, before the spell resolves.
