I guess yous are talking about position search only, when variations in a game means it may match more than once. Maybe the correct answer is that search order is not important to a position search. If doing a full search of a game and it has multiple matches, all matches be shown in the results.

What is the optimal search order? Assume we have the following game structure: v.0( m.1 m.2 m.3 v.1.1( m.3.1 m.3.2 m.3.3 v.2.1( m.3.3.1 m.3.3.2 ) m.3.4 ) m.4 m.5 v.1.2( m.5.1 m.5.2 v.2.2( m.5.2.1 m.5.2.2 m.5.2.3 ) ) m.6 Now we have two possibiliti
