Definition
Search is a fundamental paradigm in AI used to navigate complex problem spaces, such as game playing or route planning. Algorithms like A*, Minimax, or Monte Carlo Tree Search evaluate potential moves or states to identify the best path forward. This approach is essential for decision-making processes where exhaustive enumeration is impossible, requiring heuristic guidance to efficiently locate high-quality solutions.
Summary
Search algorithms systematically explore solution spaces to find optimal or satisfactory outcomes in AI tasks.
