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.

stoner search

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..."

bystander Google-search

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.

Urban Search

When you press random and whatever you get you look it up on images in a search engine.

Steve: I was playing Urban Search with my girlfiend and I got pornstar.

Steve: It got really awkward because when I looked it up, pictures of her came out.
Josh: OH SHIZNIT!!!!!!!!
