The fat of the butter will burn before the high temp that is ideal for searing is reached. Olive oil works well, vegetable oil would work too.
Actually, if you use a cast iron pan like mtsgd suggested, and it is blazing hot, you should not need any oil or spray or anything. When it is seared well enough it will lift up with no problems.
