What exactly is there to work on in terms of search? Does this include things
like move ordering? Other than that, it sounds like somewhat of a black art.
Like you say that the "limit" is the number of nodes in the principle variation,
so theoretically there is a TON of room for improvement, but it also seems like
there isn't any clear way of achieving that. So it sounds like other than move
ordering, it's kind of a research area, unless I'm missing some other things
that are included in the area of "search", when you speak of improving it.
