1. Can I play "Annihilation" or use Mask of Munchkin to cansel the Curse?
2. If I was cursed while I'm searching card with Wand, can I take a Wishing Ring from discards to cancel the Curse?
3. Does the curse go to discards immediately if I haven't finished search a card with Wand? Can I take this Curse from discards?

Re: Wand of Dowsing to Divine Intervention
 
In rereading this thread, I think I'm going to alter my ruling.

Playing Wand of Dowsing and retrieving a card are two halves of a single action, not two separate actions. Any cards played on the munchkin who is dowsing take effect when the dowsing is completed, not during that process.

Playing the card you pull from the discards is a separate action and takes place after the resolution of the Wand of Dowsing action and any cards played during that action, UNLESS the card that you pull is a "play immediately" card such as Hoard! or Divine Intervention. The "play immediately" instruction supersedes the usual sequence and takes effect immediately after the card is retrieved, before any other cards have a chance to act.

in other words you say NOTHING (except Annihilation maybe) can stop 9 Level Cleric to win the game if he played WoD and DI is in discard?

Not quite nothing, but pretty darn close. OTOH, the same is true if DI comes up some other way.

Second Grej question is still important. Can I take a Wishing Ring from discards to cancel the Curse played during my search? (Change Class for example)

Use your common sense. If you state you are using Wand of Dowsing to pull a specific card and are digging through the pile for that card, you're bound by what you've declared. If you haven't declared a card and someone decides to hit you with a Curse, then yeah, you can pull a Wishing Ring to cancel that Curse.
