Informed Search

In an informed search, a heuristic that is specific to the problem is used as a guide. A good heuristic will make an informed search dramatically out-perform any uninformed search.

For example: We can deduce or have access to a certain piece of information that will act as our heuristic function. Building and three eggs problem: If we have knowledge of how high it takes for the egg to break then we can develop a heuristic function that will guide us towards above ten stories. This will narrow down our space and time complexity to find a solution
