I posted a corrected version of my post where I included a half-smiley. This is because the comment is half a joke, but also half serious. Philisophically, the main search already needs to deal with how best to search at huge depths vs. how best to search at tiny depths. Some search code ignores the difference; it is these cases that probably depend on the presence of a separate q-search the most. Search code which is designed to be adaptive according to search depth should not have trouble encompassing q-search as well. Practically, it may still be clearer to express what needs to be done near the tips with a specific q-search routine. Dave
