Since both you and Bob decided to rip on my post, here's the explanation:

I didn't post about parallel search algorithms because I don't _know_ about
parallel search algorithms. Yes, I've read a few papers about them, but that was
a long time ago and those papers are currently more than a thousand miles away
from me; I'm in no position to post references to them.

So as much as I'd like to answer Nobuhiro's question, I can't. I was actually
looking forward to Bob's reply, only Bob didn't read the question correctly.
