Honestly, greedy search vs BFS is like comparing a sports car to a tank. BFS is *bulletproof* for shortest path, but man, it’s slow. Greedy search? Zoom zoom—until it hits a dead end.
If you’re working on something like pathfinding in games, greedy search with A* (which mixes BFS and greedy) is the sweet spot. Check out Red Blob Games’ tutorials—they break it down *perfectly*.
But yeah, if your heuristic’s trash, greedy search will embarrass you.
