Really? Because I always heard that path strength did matter. If you only have 1F you will never search higher than 1F.

I tested this just now, and it seems my information is incorrect. A f1 mage can search for higher levels. But it looks like higher paths levels do give higher chances of high level search. (I got a lot more lvl 3 searches in astral which was high, than in fire, which was 1).

3 is the max that is searched. And you cannot search in holy iirc. And dominion does matter, as you only search in your own dominion. (And I have a suspicion that high dominion level also mean more searches, as the cap is always the best searched during tests).
