Talk:Search algorithm

Search broken

Can anyone help? For some reason our wiki search does not return any results.

Even if I search for the exact wiki page - no results are displayed.

Last week it was working fine and produced the correct results. I have checked with our

Systems Administrator and had confirmation that nothing was changed over the weekend.

Thanks in advance for your help lenaquin@orbisuk.com

(This notice also posted to Talk: Combinatorial search) How much overlap does this page have with combinatorial search? Do they deserve a merging? Is one of these article titles inappropriate? Should one link to the other?

Combinatorial Search Algorithms are a subset of Search Algorithms; Combinatorial Search could refer to the search problem rather than the algorithm used to solve it. The two articles should not be merged or directly linked. Headstogether 13:47, 8 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The mention of Grover's Algorithm, and quantum computing is somewhat misleading. It states that Grover's algorithm 'provides a solution' in polynomial time. It does no such thing: It is a theoretical model of a non-existant computing system. Maybe some day there will be quantum computers, but until then, an algorithm that runs only on a non-existant quantum computer exists only in the realm of theory.AngleWyrm 05:20, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the questionable sections on "SQL search" and "tradeoff search", which are subtopics at best. Bryan Silverthorn (talk) 20:56, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some missing points

relationship between search and optimisation
local vs global search, local optima
soundness and completeness of search
