A lot of folk I know are pretty upfront about their activities via wikis etc. I don't think there should really be any obligation to post any sort of "alignment" or activities in a search info. Hell, I can barely fit what I do have in there.
If a person doesn't really check a wiki or do any looking into who they are rping with then they lose out on the opportunity for plot hooks and whatnot. Then again, you have folk that prefer to discover and do everything via character exposition and development and having what could be considered "OOC knowledge" shoved down their throats tends to annoy them.
This is, of course, not referring to the group of "evil" activities that should require OOC permission and planning regardless. No amount of warnings in a search info will save you from someone trying to push douchebaggery on you. >_>;
Ultimately, in the specific circumstance, I think it really comes down to the type of RP the person playing the "wanted" character is looking for. They might not want ambushes or walk-ups and would rather prefer a more planned sort of encounter and that is their prerogative and not really something I think is bad.
