Default ELT operation

Can someone explain the accuracy limitation of an ELT
? While the signal on 121.5 can only be automatically
detected and located to within 12 miles or so, if an
airborne search is started would a homing receiver
not guide the aircraft right over the spot ? Or are
ADFs not carried anymore in searching aircraft ?
