Subject: When to stop searching?

Hello,

I am wondering when to stop searching further in iterative deeping
and whether to stop or not at a certain point.  I recognized that
many engines often play moves very quickly while spending much time
on other moves.

If the iterative deeping process stays with a certain move for
several plies and the score returned by alphabeta does not vary
to much, can I stop the process?

Are there more sophisticated methods?

Greetings,
         Bernd
