The glossary is being gradually proof checked, but currently has many typos and misspellings.

A search strategy is a method or technique for traversing a search space in order to find a goal state. There are general strategies, such as breadth-first search and depth-first search, but the choice of strategies depends on the kind of search problem (finding any solution, optimisation, winning in a game) and the detailed structure of the search space.
