Me too.  I thought that Zed Lopez's solution was clearly of the 
"expanding circles" type, but
Daniel Martin's table seemed to categorize it as something else:

             dictionary ->|sig>wordlist|word>1|@DICT
         search method    |            |      |
         ==================================================
         Expanding circles|     0      |  1   |   2
           2-dir version  |     5      |  0   |   1
         --------------------------------------------------
         workqueue        |     3      |  2   |   0
           + distance ver |     2      |  0   |   0
           2-dir version  |     0      |  1   |   0
         --------------------------------------------------
         depth first      |     0      |  2   |   1

If Zed's program was "expanding circles", then it would fall into the 
second column, second row,
which has a 0 in it; I concluded that Pr. Martin must have categorized 
it as "workqueue".
But I think "expanding circles" is a better description of it.
