Well, the randomly refusing to search is a bug, searching capital is (probably the same) bug. Hopefully those can get sorted out.

Searching provinces that have been searched to lvl 1 would be nice. Though I'd want them to wait until after all unsearched provinces are done. And then move on to lvl 2, etc?

As for prioritizing the search order, that's a hard question. Everyone has their own preferences. Someone was asking a while ago for it to choose based on likelihood of a province having a site, you want it to avoid newly conquered/raided territory. Both reasonable, either will disappoint someone. Both will be harder to program and for users to predict than the current simple approach.

Strange that there is a micromanagement advantage to starting on the low numbered end of the map and expanding upward. Maybe just having a toggle switch to have it start with the highest numbered province instead?
