It will search only if --with-*=... was not passed, and it will never prefix the query. So yes in practice for cross compilers people do the --with-* and no searching happens, and for native compilers no one bothers and searching does happen. But to be a pedant strictly speaking the behavior is independent of whether the compiler is host == target or not.
