The document covers various search techniques in artificial intelligence, including iterative deepening depth-first search (ID-DFS), informed search, and heuristic functions. ID-DFS combines the benefits of depth-first and breadth-first search while ensuring completeness and optimality, although it has memory limitations. Informed search uses additional knowledge to efficiently find solutions, employing heuristics to guide the search process, with methods like Euclidean and Manhattan distance for estimating heuristic values.
