The linear search problem has been discussed previously by one of the present authors. In this paper, the probability distribution of the point sought in the real line is not known to the searcher. Since there is noa priori choice of distribution which recommends itself above all others, we treat the situation as a game and obtain minimax type solutions. Different minimaxima apply depending on the factors which one wishes to minimize (resp. maximize). Certain criteria are developed which help the reader judge whether the results obtained can be considered “good advice” in the solution of real problems analogous to this one.
