I'd also rather have the list be proximity based to capital rather than suddenly railroading my search pattern over to newly conquered enemy territory, but that's minor.

Since discovering that manually-cast spells use the auto-search algorithm, I've been using monthly casts a lot less. It's so much easier to take all the mages in my capital (in paths in which I'm strong), and say, "You 50 guys. Search my empire this turn, skipping any provinces that are already searched." I.e. select them all and have them all cast e.g. Dark Knowledge one after another, accepting the default province choice. (Pre-3.08 this was a pain because IIRC you had to manually look up which provinces had already been searched and/or had someone searching them currently.) That makes things like distance from capital less of an issue, because the whole empire gets searched including provinces close to the capital.
