It looks like resource_searching_offset is not accessible from LuaEntityPrototype. Can you please add read access to it?

You can read it through radius_visualisation_specification::offset.

Okay, thanks! And just to be clear, does the offset change the actual area that the mining drill extracts resources from, or does it only change where the mining area visualization is drawn?

It changes the actual area. You can also read it runtime via LuaEntity::mining_area.
