Subject: A search question that has to do with voluntary nature of draws

Consider this position:
[D]r1b1r1k1/p4pp1/2p4p/n7/2PP4/2N2Nq1/PPQKBnP1/R1B3R1 b - -
Black is behind in material.  Black has a mate in 4.

Suppose at some juncture of the game black could claim checkmate by the 50 move
rule if black so desired.  Would your search algorithm claim the draw or ignore
it and go for the checkmate?
