Hash table not giving you pruning ? I suspect a bug in your hashkey -
nothingelse.
Or maybe it is the easily that is operative word ?
I think there are a lot of open source programs that you can refer to and

Where ever possible , I try to make the search behaviour as relevent to the

Why do you want to do the opposite ?
Wont you not end up with heavy instability problems ?
