A method is disclosed for conducting a search in which measurements of a time-varying property are made and updated during the search, and in which the measurements might be uncertain. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment, one or more search algorithm parameters (e.g., the maximum branching factor of a search tree, a depth cutoff for a search tree, a time cutoff, a threshold, etc.) are adjusted dynamically during the search based on at least one of: the degree of uncertainty of the measurements, the variability of measurements over time (e.g., standard deviation, etc.), and the fraction of members whose measurement is better than a threshold. In addition, the illustrative embodiment enables the search space to be pruned based on these criteria.
