Subject: No Qsearch?

In the Richard Lang interview at:

http://www.beepworld.de/members37/computerschach/
(Just click on the link "ChessGenius Classic 7" in the leftmost column. The
interview also appears in *English*)

"For example I have never used capture searches and rely instead on a static
swap off routine."

This seems to indicate that CG does not employ a qsearch. I also understand that
Junior does something similar. I wonder how this is done? I would presume some
type of accuracy tradeoff must be involved, but I wonder what? I'm very curious
about how this is all done and why doesn't everybody do it this way?

How is all the effort that goes into creating a good eval compatible with such a
handling of non-quiescent positions? It just seems kind of wacky to me.
