Article title

Someone moved this from A Star Search algorithm, but it should be located at A Star search algorithm since "Star" is part of the title. It is usually written A*, but pronounced like the title of the article. It is "A Star," not "A star" like "A square" or "A circle." It is a specific algorithm—using lowercase makes it sound like it describes a generic sort of algorithm. Anyone else have any input on this? -Frecklefoot

I think A-Star search algorithm is about right. Better would be A* search algorithm, but apparently that's not an option?

I removed the link to B* search algorithm. I determined it was bogus--it failed the Google test. —Frecklefoot 15:32, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)
