Hi!
This is my first post. I need help.
Local search (hill climbing, for example) search solution space for the best solution. Is there any known combination of two cascade search "engines". First one, inner, search what we really need (we will search for this anyway). And the second search engine search over the results from that inner search, by changing various parameters, maybe even change applied search algorithm of the inner search engine. So the outer search is used as kind of benchmark (but progressively leading to a best combination for a given problem set).
Firstly, i named it 'meta search', but it is already used for something quite different (aggregation of results from many search engines).
Then I have tried 'hyper search', which is used too.
multilevel, cascade... all seem to be used for something else.
As I know, principle I have just described, is not known in the CS. I would appreciate it if someone could either send me a link toward existing principle, or give me a suggestion for naming it.
