It's when a person with a lisp eats too much carbohydrates.
Seriously, A breadth search is one in which you attempt to download the
links on the main page before you descend down the links (depth).
Coupled with a depth greater than 1, it can lead to huge plucks quite
easily.
Whether you should do a depth-first or breadth-first search (and how
deep you should go in either direction) varies depending on the nature
of the page you're trying to pluck.
