Default Re: magic site searches

This reminds me of something that I don't like in Dom3 relative to the original dominions -- it is now *harder* to cast site searching spells, from a UI perspective.

When playing the original dominions, I had a sheet of graph paper with all the province numbers listed, and I'd tick off which ones I'd searched after casting the spell. I could easily punch in new province numbers when I cast new searches.

In Dom3, you can't just type in the province number, you have to find the province on the map, which means I have to click away until I find the province number I'm looking for. And there's no way to see from within the casting menu which provinces have/haven't been searched, so I still have to rely on my trusty sheet for prov. numbers...

The current system is great for manually site earching, but still needs improvement for the search spells.
