Subject: how to limit search extensions

Author: vincent dichiacchio

could someone explain some of the methods that limit search extensions from
exploding.  i have heard about fractional ply, but that doesnt seem much
different than setting an absolute limit on extension.  is the difference more
evident when extensions extend on top of extensions?  are the methods arbitrary
just because its too costly to implement something more selective?

thanks in advance,
vince
