If a mage whose intelligence is 5 or 6, has seen someone, and
the mage has summoning skills of 6 or more, then using the
rules FASA give, you can be pretty sure that she'll find
this person within 2 hours by summoning a Watcher to go
searching.

I'd suggest the given TN should be increased if the target
is actively hiding or being careful: the GM should add
the number of successes from a Stealth test, TN 4, to the
by-the-book Watcher's Force vs. `9-Int' TN.

Or do you all use and rely on this technique a lot?

Not really, my players don't summon spirits a lot. But how do you hide from
something that is looking at your aura? You can't hide your aura except by
masking it, and so the penalty to find an initiate starts to make sense :)
