Eh, considering wind speed and direction (and its differences at different altitudes), varying pressure and inherent aerodynamic properties of the door plug itself, it's hardly a high school problem. They'll find a decent estimate, but they'll have to search some area unless a person on the ground finds it first.

I agree, it's not a point mass falling in a vacuum. But they'll have a ballpark idea (probably within a few square miles) of where it is.
