The full title is Local Authority Search. This is a questionnaire delivered to the local authority requiring information about a property in its area. The local authority is either the London borough or the district council. The answers given by the local authority might include the following information: planning consents and conditions attached to them, enforcement notices in relation to a breach of planning control, smoke control order (requiring use of smokeless fuel), whether the highway is adopted, whether the property is listed or in a conservation area. The cost varies as individual councils have discretion in setting the charges. The minimum is about £80 but no doubt some councils will soon be charging over £250.

Local search is a metaheuristic for solving computationally hard optimization problems. Local search can be used on problems that can be formulated as finding a solution maximizing a criterion among a number of candidate solutions. Local search algorithms move from solution to solution in the space of candidate solutions (the search space) until a solution deemed optimal is found or a time bound is elapsed.

Local search is a type of internet search wherein the keyword string submitted to the search engine includes a locality parameter (such as: city name, ZIP code, state name, etc) along with other keyword terms, or the user's physical location (known as Geolocation) is identified in some way, and the results returned supposedly are limited to that locality. The traditional internet search paradigm involves returning links to pages which contained all the user's keywords, but the "local search" variant may return businesses or points of interest (POI) which have physical addresses located within or near to the locality, and the pages might not contain references to that locality.

In constraint satisfaction, local search is an incomplete method for finding a solution to a problem. It is based on iteratively improving an assignment of the variables until all constraints are satisfied. In particular, local search algorithms typically modify the value of a variable in an assignment at each step.
