Subject: Selective Search Q's

How exactly does a selective search work?  Does the program search to a certain
depth x then eliminate the worst moves, and then search the ones it did not
eliminate?  If so at what depth does it do this?  Does it only do this once, or
does it perhaps eliminate more moves deeper in the search, removing more and
more moves as the search progresses?  Is the number of moves eliminated
dependent on the position?    If any of the programmers, or anyother computer
chess erudite could describe in detail how it works, I would be grateful.
