Subject: Aspiration search

Hey,

I have a (stupid?) question about aspiration search.  I understand the concept
is to atrificially limit the search window in an effort to prune faster.
However, a value returned from Search(pos, a, b) will always be within the a-b
window.  I.e. a <= value <= b.  How, then, does one tell if the value returned
is bogus and needs to be re-Searched or whether it is good?  Which does a value
== a or value == b mean?

Thanks,
Scott
