It may have been changed in a recent patch. The first casting currently targets the first unsearched province correctly. But additional casts in the same month will all target that same province.

I haven't seen the problem with it targeting an already-search province when there are unsearched provinces available, but I switched to manual targeting because of the first problem.

I've been playing for a year, and this was the behavior I've seen that entire time - no changes.

Thanks for the clarification. I haven't been throwing around enough of them to notice, so that makes sense. It's been reported on the beta bug thread now.
