No I think that evaluation is one of the big advantage of fruit relative to opponents and not search. I have examples when Fruit simply evaluate position better than commercial programs.

In computer chess it is still tactics over >strategy, never mind the so called "positional" chess programs. I disagree. I think that there are lot of positions that fruit understand better than commercial programs(see the case of the exchange sacrifice that I mentioned) Fruit is also not a fast solver of nolot 1 or nolot 2 so I do not think it's relative advantage to the commercial programs is tactics.
