What I do is dump all the search as a XML file, so you can walk for the seach as a tree with a xml-viewer. Also you can write attributes in each node (extensions, eval, ....). In moments, a 8-depth tree can be easy viewed and navigated, more than that could make very bigs files. Anyway this is a very useful tool for me to debug
Thanks for quoting me out of context. No damage done though , because I admit the search isn't exactly the easiest thing to debug (even when you DO have a properly functioning move generator). Using the right tricks and tools helps though (but, of course, you should still have a properly functioning move generator first).
