Iterative Deepening Search:

So, breadth first search is always guaranteed to find a solution (if one exists), actually it eats all the memory. For the depth first search, there is much less memory hungry, however not guaranteed to find a solution. Is there any other way to search the space which combines the good parts of both?? 

Well, yes, but it sounds impractical Iterative Deepening Search (IDS) is just about a series combination of depth first searches where the depth limit is mostly increased by one every time. That is, the IDS will do a depth first search like DFS to depth 1, followed by a DFS to depth 2, and so on, so there may be each time starting completely from scratch. That is the main advantage of being complete this, as it covers almost all depths of the search tree. And also, it only requires the same memory just like this as depth first search (of course). 

In fact, you will have noticed that its means that it completely re-searches and the entire space for searched in the previous iteration. But this kind of redundancy will definitely make the search strategy for moving too slow to contemplate using in practice. Truly, it isn't as bad idea as you might think for this. This is just because, in the depth first search, most of the effort is mostly spent expanding the last row of the tree, so just for the repetition over the top part of the tree is a minor factor. However, the effect of this kind of the repetition reduces as the branching rate increases. In a search with branching rate 10 and depth 5, can reach the number of states searched is 111,111 with a single depth first search. With an iterative deepening search we see that, this number goes up to 123,456. So, there may be only a repetition of around 11%.
