I agree re finding hard evidence that search is a lost cause, and I see how your overall work in the field has the property of (hopefully) either finding a safe way to use search, or producing evidence (perhaps weak or perhaps strong) that search is a lost cause.
As I speak to young (and senior!) ML folk, I notice they often struggle to conceive of what a non-search approach to AI really means. I’m excited about elucidating what search and design really are, and getting more people to consider using aspects of design alongside search.
Thanks for the note Paul.
