Search effort is typically measured in terms of the number of backtracks, constraint checks, or nodes in the search tree, but measures such as the number of incorrect decisions have also been proposed. Comparisons based on mean and median effort are common. However, other researchers focus on studying runtime distributions, where one can observe a (non-)heavy-tailed distribution under certain conditions [2, 3].
