The PointLocatorBase::build() function takes a PointLocatorType enum which
can be one of {TREE, TREE_ELEMENTS, TREE_LOCAL_ELEMENTS}.

The PointLocator in Meshbase is built with the TREE_ELEMENTS enumeration:

_point_locator.reset (PointLocatorBase::build(TREE_ELEMENTS,
*this).release());

so that will look search in all elements in the mesh by default.
