The students had clashed with police during a demonstration and were last seen being bundled into police cars.
Hundreds of local vigilantes have joined the search, saying they would conduct a house-by-house search.
Meanwhile forensic tests are under way on dozens of bodies found in shallow graves near the town last week.
It is feared the bodies could be those of the students.
In Mexico City, family members led a procession, carrying photographs of the disappeared.
Demonstrations also took place in many cities, including Oaxaca, Veracruz, Morelia, and Guerrero.
A silent march was staged by the the EZLN - better known as the Zapatistas indigenous rebel group - in the southern city of San Cristobal de las Casas.
