A search algorithm is a massive collection of other algorithms, each with its own purpose and task. Here's how it all works.

Researchers at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China have developed a novel quantum algorithm that extends Grover's quadratic speedup to continuous search problems ...

This is a very powerful asymmetry: Anyone can notice a change in search results, but it’s extremely difficult to prove what caused it. That gives algorithm designers immense deniability.
