The answer is simple for those how read the help file that comes along
with Shredder 6 classic

Selectivity
Specifies how deeply Shredder should follow promising lines. The larger the
number the deeper the search. But naturally deeper searches also slow down the
program. The value –1 means the engine will decide on its own how deep to go in
each line. This depends on the nature of the position.
