Searching behavior is a fundamental activity performed by organisms in order to increase their probability to survive, grow and reproduce by finding food, refuges or mates. Humans are no exception. Every day we can readily observe how we, consciously or unconsciously, search for and find a great variety of items, an ability that surely has its origins in our evolutionary past, including as hunter-gatherers.
