You either are, and you are invisible.
Or you aren't, and the whole world can see you.
It really needs to be instanced on a per mob basis as to weather or not you are visible.
Weather or not you notice them noticing you could be a separate skill check.

It's silly as hell to sneak into a room to try and get closer to that human/orc you're stalking, and have you revealed to the enemy because even though your opponent didn't see you, that squirrel sitting in the tree sure did, and raised the alarm.
In the long run, it's far better for the game to fix the code, rather than reprimand all the characters who search after getting exposed

You have searched here to recently, you did not notice anything!

Unless some contributing factors change, there would be no difference in the results.
