Which character has (based on "feats") the best sensory/scanning abilities in comics?
Criteria:
-must be quantifiable (no metaphysical mumbo jumbo).
-must be based on the physical world/universe (to be measurable)
-herald level and below only.
-range+specificity/accuracy vs time it takes is what determines the exact "level" of said ability/"feat".
-no amps/resisted "feats"/assisted "feats"/one time-only powers (tho one time only "feats" are allowed to determine top level range of a consistently demonstrated ability).
This would equal the Surfer's universal "range" but not in specificity/accuracy tho. Bear in mind he scans the entire universe for one specific thing. Kinda like being able to see a huge haystack vs finding a needle within that huge haystack.
It's possible to do so but theorizing in order to make it completely quantifiable would blow this "feat" even more out of the proportion than it already is (scanning the universe for each person's criteria of taste and then isolating the planet that meets it best).
All we know is that:
-The title narrative that comes from the page that followed specifically mentions that the Surfer finds the best ice cream in the universe (meaning it is not a character statement but is narrative-based, making it 100% confirmed that he DID find the best ice cream in the universe). Here is a scan of said narration:
-That it is far enough that the inhabitants of the planet are unfamiliar with heralds and such and that the Surfer is unfamiliar with the planet as well.
-That he specifically mentions that he used his cosmic senses to find said ice cream.
"The world of the universe vibrate together, Darkseid. And make this... Sound like an orchestra"
-Impressive, how he can pick up the sound on a multiversal lvl but how is that quantifiable (awesome range tho)?
-And it sounds to me that he is simply describing how the multiverse works rather than hearing the totality of it at this time.
-Even if we base it on your interpretation, it doesn't look like he is scanning it at this specific time and he's listening so we don't have a measurement of time here. For all we know, it could have taken him his whole lifetime to "hear" this sound.

Every Superman is tuned to the multiversal vibration in Morrison's multiverse.
Theoretically, anybody with the ability to navigate the ultimate thule should be able to replicate that feat (assuming that they can make sounds like Superman).
If he is capable of this then how come in his speed feat with Dr. Strange he has to go search the entire Earth trying to look for something. If he can scan the friggin universe, why'd he have to even move to find something on a lone planet?
