Subject: Few questions: old PV moves

Hi,

I'm trying to make use of old PV moves from triangular
PV array  . I see some programs always clear the array
each time the search() is called. I notice that after the
search() returns PV[0][0] (assume that starting ply=0)
and suppose the next human player move is equal to
PV[0][1], the old PV[0][2..to..end] are still useful at least
for the move ordering function. Is it correct?

...and  If this situation(human move=PV[0][1]  happens,
is it good idea to start iterative searching at the end of
last PV line instead of from depth 1,2,3... ?
My reasons are  1. We have already searched from
PV[0][2] to PV[0][end] .
2. In case of time trouble,we already have the move
PV[0][2] in hand.
Thanks for any comment.
