5 minutes I got one! Its close, but uses the root progression. Betty Davis Eyes..what you get?
E C#m B A C#m B
Her hair is Harlow gold, her lips sweet surprise
E C#m B A B E
Her hands are never cold, she's got Bette Davis eyes
E C#m B A C#m B
She'll turn her music on you, you won't have to think twice
E C#m B A B E
She's pure as New York snow, she got Bette Davis eyes
C#m E
And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
A E
All the better just to please you
C#m E
She's precocious and she knows just
A E
What it takes to make a pro blush
C#m B
She got Greta Garbo stand off sighs
A B E
She's got Bette Davis eyes
E C#m B A C#m B
Her hair is Harlow gold, her lips sweet surprise
E C#m B A B E
Her hands are never cold, she's got Bette Davis eyes

Without checking and going buy my beautiful memory I do believe if you check hey Jude or something you'll find those progressions

The progression is used. I thought of more too. None are A C#m E B exactly.
'18 and life'
C#m A
18 and life you got it
E B
18 and life you know
C#m A E B
Your crime is time and its 18 and life to go
or
Dream weaver
C#m B A A B
i've just closed my eyes again
C#m B A
climbed aboard the dream weaver train
E B Asus4 A Asus2 A
driver take away my worries of today
E B A Asus2 A
and leave tomorrow behind
or Brandy
C#m7 B
Chorus: Brandy, you're a fine girl < you're a fine girl >
A B E
What a good wife you would be < such a fine girl >
A B E
Your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea
How can I search for songs based on chord progression used?

I was thinking of a couple that use C#m A E B. It is used in Spirit's Nature's Way, and Sister Golden Hair uses C#m A E for the opening progression, but I can't think of any A C#m E B songs off the top of my head.

Toto's Africa has them all in in a different key - but C, Em, G and the a D is quite common - Africa just has a few others before the D

If only for a moment.....
I wouldn't be surprised if that sequence has turned up in one of my songs !

F#m D A E
I bless the rains down in Africa

Hey Jude is F and C

That particular combination doesn't get a lot of mileage.
I cannot find one..why? thats weird.

Journey's Don't Stop Believin makes a close pass. That's a righteous song. If you can get the groove while singing, it rocks.
E B C#m A - - - E B G#m A
E B C#m A - - - E B G#m A

Great tune.
Since I am the first PERSON EVER TO THINK OF IT, I will accept the flotsam under the charter and stake the claim. I have spoken.
A C#m E B , you are all mine...ALL MINE! MINE I TELL YOU....BWAHHHaHAHAGAGAAGAGAAAG

Piddling around with this on the guitar, it wants to be a ballad. That E is a demanding chord - it's demanding to be the resolution before the B is played, so it's extended and the B is only thrown in as a grace note moving to the A again.
Then I went A C#m F#m D A F G A E
Then I went A C#m F#m D A F G A E

Then reMatrix it on the back half. As like, a come down.
A C#m E B ... to ... C#m B A E
There is the resolve, in the back half.

That progression, IV - vi - I - V, or slight variations of it, has been used in probably literally hundreds of thousands of songs.
Granted, the most common variation by far is I - V - vi - IV. That's the uber popular one used in "With or Without You," "Let It Be," etc., etc. Of course, many of them are in different keys, but that doesn't matter; the chord progression is the same. In the key of E, that would be E - B - Cm - A. So you've switched the order of the IV and vi chord from that version. (And, of course, you're starting the progression at a different point, but the cycle of chords is very similar.)
But I'm sure there are many songs that use I - V - IV - vi, or the variation you stated, IV - vi - I - V, as well. Although, it's admittedly WAY lesson common than I - V - vi - IV.

You're right; it's not the same. It's a variation that's way less commonly used.

According to chordgenome.com, Here are a few that use that same cycle, although maybe starting at a different point:

Rob Thomas: "Ever the Same" E - B - A - C#m (I - V - IV - vi)
Bruce Springsteen: "Badlands" E - B - A - C#m (I - V - IV - vi)
The Cure: "39" C#m - E - B - A (vi - I - V - IV)
Guns N Roses: "Better" A - C#m - E - B (IV - vi - I - V) Exact match
Luke Bryan: "Drinking Again" E - B - A - C#m (I - V - IV - vi)
Blake Shelton: "Every Time I Look at You" E - B - A - C#m (I - V - IV - vi)

Of course, this is only for those songs that are in the key of E. It's not finding all the ones that would use the same progression but in a different key, such as:
Bb - Dm - F - C
B - D#m - F# - C#
C - Em - G - D
etc., etc.
