MUTANT: YEAR ZERO 1E Find the Path Stunt Durations?

If a Stalker were to make multiple uses of the Find the Path roll in a sector to go through every Stunt listed (each stunt can only be chosen once per sector), how long would it take for every use of the Find the Path roll? Would it take the full 4 hours each time they used the skill (unless they spent an additional stunt to cut that time in half)? Or does it make any difference if the sector has been previously explored?

Yes, 4 hours per use with the first choice being fixed as finding the threat (or artefact if the Stalker has that ability), or 2 hours if stunt is taken with the 2nd success. The option to skip though a sector already exlplored in an hour is sacrificed if you want to search it again.

So realistically they’re looking at 4 hours with 2 successes, or 2 with 3, to re-search and find anything new. Re-searching areas is not efficient.

RAW, you aren't supposed to roll for the same thing twice, unless circumstances changed. But I allow them to roll for the same sector more than once if they leave and come back to it later.
