Brute force searches for all moves, both good and bad, in several plies ahead.
It does not overlook any move at all but search is very slow.

Selective search cuts off trees of bad moves and searches for several best moves
in several plies ahead. It is fast but may overlook some good moves.

Selective search is best for playing tournament games or blitz games.

If you want to make a thorough analysis to find a best move in a game for a long
time, brute force may be ideal.
