We search for strange-pentaquark states that have been previously reported by other experiments--the {theta}(1540){sup +}, {xi}{sub 5}(1860){sup --}, and {xi}{sub 5}(1860){sup 0}--in 123 fb{sup -1} of data recorded with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e{sup +}e{sup -} storage ring. We find no evidence for these states and set 95% confidence level upper limits on the number of {theta}(1540){sup +} and {xi}{sub 5}(1860){sup --} pentaquarks produced per e{sup +}e{sup -} annihilation into qq and per {upsilon}(4S) decay. For qq events the {theta}(1540){sup +} [{xi}{sub 5}(1860){sup --}] limit is about 8 [4] times lower than the rates measured for ordinary baryons of similar mass.
