random searching

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.

I was random searching through Netflix for a movie to watch.

Armenian search

a searching technique that can involve questionably legal methods to find what one is looking for.

I saw a video of where a cop does an Armenian search and I had to look it up and see if they're allowed to.

Reese-search

Phony scientific study/experimentation that merely involves pigging out on peanut butter cups and other bright-orange-wrappered chocolates.

Reese-search can also loosely be used to sarcastically/disgustedly refer to Mickey-Mouse R&D projects that merely involve loafing/goofing off, wasting time, recreating, needlessly/inefficiently consuming costly/scarce resources, etc. Two prime examples would be mattress-testing (i.e., getting paid to merely nap for extended periods), or the Red Green Show's infamous character Bob Stuyvesant's claiming that his impromptu solo golf-games are serious environmental studies.
