ELI5: No free lunch (for search)

$
0
0

Hey, as far as I understood it the No free lunch theorem states that for all possible search problems all search algorithm will behave equally good on average.

I have problems believing this: For example: can't we show that A* is an optimal search algorithm while Greedy search is not? Hence for all search problems A* will find an optimal solution while Greedy search doesnt. So on average A* will be better than Greedy Search for all possible Search problems.

Pls help :)
