Subject: QSearch question

int QSearch(alpha, beta)
{
	...............
	value = Evaluate();
	if (value > alpha) {
		if (value >= beta)
			return(value);	<------------ My question
		...............
	}
	GenerateCaptureMoves();
	...............
}

In QSearch, if value is >= beta, it returns value without further search.
Is this similar concept to null move in Search()?

Thank you in advance.
