Abstract
This paper proposes and evaluates a general search
function which can be used for determining the
efficiency of a search in which the searcher is
required to visit the maximum number of targets in an
alloted period of time. A lower bound on this
function is presented as a consequence of the
"semimyopic" strategy utilized in the simulation.
