Wand of Dowsing to Divine Intervention

But another player would be able to use a GUAL in response to dowsing. Correct?

Yes. The way I now understand it is that while you are searching a discard pile, other players can do things that could be done 'at any time', but you can't do those things until you are done searching.

The only cards you could play while looking through the discards would be cards that react to something the other players did, such as playing a Wishing Ring to stop a Curse another player just hit you with.

Hopefully I'm not making any more mistakes here, as I'm fairly certain I finally understand the intent.

That certainly sounds logical enough. It also feels right - playing something in response to an action is certainly different than initiating a new action.
