Informed search

 Informed search:
That uses problem-specific knowledge beyond the definition of the problem itself.
It can find solution more efficiently than uninformed search.
Informed search – Best First Search.
Best-first search
Idea: use an evaluation function f(n) for each node
Expand most desirable unexpanded node
Implementation:
  Order the nodes in fringe in decreasing order of desirability
Key component – heuristic function h(n)
     h(n) = estimated cost of the cheapest path from node n to goal node.

Special cases:
greedy best-first search
A* search
