![“[The] amount of search is not a measure of the amount of intelligence being exhibited. What makes a problem a problem is not that a large amount of search is required for its solution, but that a large amount would be required if a requisite level of intelligence were not applied.” quote by Allen Newell](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/273/allen-newell-60947_amount_the-amount-of-search-is-not-a-measure-of_862326.jpg)
