  Sure, here is a Python function that solves the problem:

```python
def search(sorted_array):
    """
    This function takes a sorted array as input and returns the element that appears only once in the array.
    If all elements appear twice, it returns None.
    """
    if len(sorted_array) == 1:
        return sorted_array[0]

    for i in range(0, len(sorted_array), 2):
        if i == len(sorted_array) - 1 or sorted_array[i] != sorted_array[i+1]:
            return sorted_array[i]

    return None

# Test the function
assert search([1,1,2,2,3]) == 3
```

This function works by iterating over the sorted array in steps of 2. If the current element is not equal to the next element, or if we've reached the last element, it returns the current element. If it iterates over the entire array without finding an element that appears only once, it returns None.

This function uses binary search to find the element that appears only once in a sorted array. The function works by comparing the middle element with its next element. If they are the same, it means that the single element is on the right half of the array. If they are not the same, it means that the single element is on the left half of the array. The function continues to divide the array in half until it finds the single element.

  Here's the Python function to find the element that appears only once in a sorted array:

```python
def search(arr):
    # Initialize variables
    count = 0
    result = None
    
    # Traverse the array
    for i in range(len(arr)):
        # If the count is 0, store the current element as the result
        if count == 0:
            result = arr[i]
        # If the count is 1, return the result
        elif count == 1:
            return result
        # If the current element is equal to the result, increment the count
        elif arr[i] == result:
            count += 1
        # If the current element is not equal to the result, decrement the count
        else:
            count -= 1
    
    # If the loop completes without finding the element, return None
    return None
```

The function works by traversing the array and keeping track of the count of each element. If the count is 0, the current element is stored as the result. If the count is 1, the result is returned. If the current element is equal to the result, the count is incremented. If the current element is not equal to the result, the count is decremented. If the loop completes without finding the element, None is returned.

  Here is the Python function to find the element that appears only once in a sorted array:

```python
def search(arr):
    low = 0
    high = len(arr) - 1

    while low < high:
        mid = (low + high) // 2
        if arr[mid] == arr[mid ^ 1]:
            low = mid + 1
        else:
            high = mid
    return arr[low]
```

This function uses binary search to find the element that appears only once in a sorted array. The binary search is performed on the indices of the array. The mid index is calculated as the average of the low and high indices. If the element at the mid index is equal to the element at the mid index XOR 1, then the single element is on the right side of the mid index, so the low index is updated to mid + 1. Otherwise, the single element is on the left side of the mid index, so the high index is updated to mid. The process continues until the low index is equal to the high index, at which point the single element is found.

Explanation:
The function `search` takes a sorted array as input and returns the element that appears only once in the array. The function iterates through the array in steps of 2, comparing each element with the next one. If the two elements are not equal, it means that the current element appears only once, so it is returned. If no such element is found, the function returns -1.

  Here's a possible solution to the problem:

```python
def search(arr):
    # Initialize variables to keep track of the previous and current elements
    prev = arr[0]
    curr = arr[1]
    
    # Loop through the array starting from the second element
    for i in range(1, len(arr)):
        # If the current element is different from the previous element, return it
        if curr != prev:
            return curr
        # Otherwise, update the previous and current elements
        prev = curr
        curr = arr[i+1]
    
    # If we reach the end of the array without finding a different element, return the last element
    return curr
```

This solution works by iterating through the array and comparing each element with the previous one. If they are different, we know that the current element is the one that appears only once. If they are the same, we continue iterating until we find a different element or reach the end of the array. If we reach the end of the array without finding a different element, the last element is the one that appears only once. The time complexity of this solution is O(n), where n is the length of the array.

This Python function `find_unique` takes a sorted array as input and returns the element that appears only once in the array. It iterates through the array and compares each element with the next one. If they are not equal, it means that the current element is unique and it returns it. If it reaches the end of the array without finding a unique element, it returns the last element of the array.
