It seems to me that you believe that the curresnt state of search is near
optimum. I find this view a tad silly. Newer research exploiting graph
properties of the search space shows that current search is much to large. And
add to that safe and semi-safe pruning methods. And I really can't see that
improving search has a hard limit, except for the 'perfect evaluator'. You seem
hopelessly stuck in the 'knowledge pidgeonhole'. Most improvements in search are
of a geometrical nature, thoug they may incur some overhead. So it seems obvious
that search should be at least as important as evaluation. And less error-prone.
