Fibonacci search

Can anybody explain me what is a "Fibonacci search"?
even an URL will do.

Thanks for reading.

Hey,

The Fibonacci Sequence is defined such that the first two numbers of
the sequence are 0 and 1. subesequent numbers are the sum of the
previous two. e.g.

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 ......

try this for code (googled it)

http://cubbi.org/serious/fibonacci/c++.html

A search returns the N'th fibonacci number (the URL codes it up for
you).
good luck.

That's a Fibonacci sequence. A Fibonacci _search_ is an extension of
the idea of a binary search to the case where you want to find an
extremum rather than a particular value.
