best first search
<algorithm> A graph search algorithm which optimises breadth first search
by ordering all current paths according to some heuristic. The heuristic
attempts to predict how close the end of a path is to a solution. Paths which
are judged to be closer to a solution are extended first.
See also beam search, hill climbing.
