A search tree structure originally introduced by Burkhard and Keller
(Some Approaches to Best-Match File Searching, CACM Vol. 16, p. 230)
is studied experimentally. The best-match searching time depends on
the final minimal distance between the search point and the points in
the search tree. Some modifications aiming at better performance are
also proposed. For the purpose of comparison some tests with the
well-known k-d tree are performed.
