Subject: Sacrifice Search

Does any program currently do a sacrifice search?

By this, I mean the program intuits that a sacrifice may be in order (within the
first 3 ply maybe), and then pretends that the sacrifice move is the PV and
searches down it's ply to a deeper depth or somesuch in order to find out it's
validity.

Or, do all current programs only make a sacrifice if they perceive a definitive
gain within the same ply depth as most other moves?
