SearchMode

Mode defining the behavior of the search, trading off latency versus solution quality. In all modes, the global request deadline is enforced.
| Enums |
SEARCH_MODE_UNSPECIFIED |
Unspecified search mode, equivalent to RETURN_FAST. |
RETURN_FAST |
Stop the search after finding the first good solution. |
CONSUME_ALL_AVAILABLE_TIME |
Spend all the available time to search for better solutions. |
