Depends on why he ejected. If it was a flight control failure and the jet was in level flight, it could have gone a long ways. If he squawked Emer before he got out, the FAA should know where it went down.
Yep, but the plane sometimes can go quite some distance before hitting the ground. I remember the time when a pilot got in a PIO (pilot induced oscillation) situation where the jet becomes uncontrollable. When he punched out the jet stabilized and flew for many miles.

Ejection seats transmit a signal when a pilot bangs out, the time and co ordinates will be known exactly
