I would like to point out that they do not expect to find the Ark, nor are they even looking for it. They know it was kept there for several years, then moved.

They are only trying to find the environment that surrounded it.

To add in a wiki summary:

It is mentioned as the place the Ark of the Covenant may have been moved after being in Beth Shemesh (1 Samuel 6:21-7:2). About 60 years (2 Sam 6) afterward, the ark was moved to Jerusalem and placed in a tent outside the palace of David.

As far as the location of the Ark, I've always had a soft spot for a dumb pun angle.

That is, that it would be located in Debir (aka Kirjath-sepher or Kirjath-sannah), because debir is

"the holy of holies, the innermost room of the temple or tabernacle"

So yeah, where *else* would it be? ;-)
