Graeme is correct - although he hinted at it, it is in some way NOT random. That is, a mage with the strands that is N7 always has the same max search using it, although it is a random amount up to that number every turn, in every province. IMHO it's a pretty crappy spell - by the time you get it, you should have site searched almost everywhere. Especially if the fix the site search algorithms.
The only time I've used it in multiplayer was in a game as R'lyeh where I had hoarded a little more than 100 clams, and needed as much defense against the four or five people that swarmed me as possible. I was using it more for defense against mages than as a site searcher, though it tended to find a few sites every turn.
