The wandering search of a stoned person looking for food or trying to accomplish a task, often ending in forgetting what they were searching for.
Where did Jessie go? "She's off on a stoner search for oreos and forgot what she was doing. We might have to find her..."

Humorous term to describe where you "publicly" solicit the knowledge ("Excuse me, everyone --- do any of you happen to know anything about ___?", or, ""Hey, Folks --- are any of you familiar with the technical properties of ___?") of anyone within yelling-distance about a particular question or problem that you encounter at that time and place.
Doing a bystander Google-search can yield surprising results --- more than once I have gotten out of a perplexing dilemma in this way.

Random search (RS) is a family of numerical optimization methods that do not require the gradient of the problem to be optimized and RS can hence be used on functions that are not continuous or differentiable. Such optimization methods are also known as direct-search, derivative-free, or black-box methods.
The name, random search, is attributed to Rastrigin who made an early presentation of RS along with basic mathematical analysis. RS works by iteratively moving to better positions in the search-space which are sampled from a hypersphere surrounding the current position.

Gopher lets you search for resources using menus. It originated at the University of Minnesota which has (as you guessed it) a gopher for a mascot. Insted of accessing with the adress of the domain, you select any entry in a gopher menu and like the human "gofers' of the world, Gopher goes out for the material you want. Gopher is like a regular library subject catalog and it will search for the holdings of many libraries for your subject.
gopher fatty.law.cornell.edu which is the Cornell Legal Information Institute of Cornell Law School.
edu - educational institute
other domain adresses are as follows:
com - commercial and buisness
gov - government institutions
mil - military institutions
net - network recorces
org - other organizations
