While running join attributes by location, we can either choose one to many or one to one mapping. In One-to-one, it assigns the first located features value. What is meant by first located feature? How is this locating or searching carried out?

It is safe to interpret it as "a random feature at the same location". The data provider (shapefile, database etc) comes into play and decide the "first" returned item, which can be different each time.
