It might be prudent to reduce the default search of the AI from 100% to either 50 or 60%. This might produce a more acceptable search ratio for players. I've been able to produce both sides of the argument here.

Does seem at times that naval search is extremely efficient but as Mogami related, those spottings are 95% of the time in either well traveled or the most likely areas to be traveled. In PBEM i have been able to 'disapear' into the depths where few ships rarely go. In one notable game myself and my opponent 'both' attempted this at the same time and the first we knew of the other was when our carrier groups all but bumped into each other (range of 2-3 hexes!)

I have noticed very high op losses in search planes when playing against the AI, so it would look like the default setting favors increased "eyes in the skies" at the cost of aircraft and crews. The lower default search would both produce a more realistic result and help the AI preserve it's search assets.
