// This thing manages search packets

// The basic idea is as follows:
//  We may know a NodeID (with a mask) and want to connect
//  We begin a search by initializing a list of all nodes in our DHT, sorted by closest to the destination
//  We then iteratively ping nodes from the search, marking each pinged node as visited
//  We add any unvisited nodes from ping responses to the search, truncating to some maximum search size
//  This stops when we either run out of nodes to ping (we hit a dead end where we can't make progress without going back), or we reach the destination
//  A new search packet is sent immediately after receiving a response
//  A new search packet is sent periodically, once per second, in case a packet was dropped (this slowly causes the search to become parallel if the search doesn't timeout but also doesn't finish within 1 second for whatever reason)

// TODO?
//  Some kind of max search steps, in case the node is offline, so we don't crawl through too much of the network looking for a destination that isn't there?
