Sounds to me like you want an overview paper, not details on a specific
area of search. Try one of Richard Korf's survey papers:

Korf, Richard, "Search: A Survey of Recent Results", in _Exploring Artificial
Intelligence: Survey Talks from the National Conferences on AI_, Howard
Shrobe, ed, Morgan Kaufmann, 1988. [This book, IMHO, contains several excellent
survey papers useful for getting a quick view of different AI subfields]

Korf, Richard, "Optimal Path-Finding Algorithms", in _Search in AI_, Kanal
and Kumar, eds, 1988. Similar to an earlier one that appeared in Computer
Science Surveys.

You could also read Pearl's book (_Heuristics_), but that sounds like overkill
for a short seminar.
