From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
beam search          An optimisation of the {best first search} graph search       {algorithm} where only a predetermined number of paths are       kept as candidates.   The number of paths is the "width of the       beam".   If more paths than this are generated, the worst paths       are discarded.   This reduces the space requirements of best       first search.
