I would think that a truly advanced civilization wouldn’t even need to leave their system to find life in the universe. They could just develop a model of how life should emerge and use imagery to identify targets that are most likely to have life. Maybe this model is occasionally validated with a remote operated or autonomous probe.

Autonomous probes are, but good luck building something that survived for the millions of years needed to get anywhere interesting, and good luck having your civilization still existing - by the time the signal returns.
