He can't put the card on himself (card text on the discipline card).

No.

No. In this case, the search (for one of the non-superior Discipline
cards) fails and no card is retrieved.

Moot.

Correct.
If it wasn't "search" but, like Vast Wealth, "grab the first master: D"
you find in your library working down, then, as with Vast Wealth, the
illegal card would be retrieved and burned (with no other cost or effect).
But it's not.
Similarly, A vampire with a Sport Bike cannot use Magic of the Smith to
fish out a Hawg (just to discard the Hawg from the library).
