Just incase: two search strategies tried on the TSP  recently
have been Simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithms. Papers
that cover the TSP and these techniques are:

Optimisation by Simulated Annealing, Kirkpatrick, Gelatt and Vecchi,
Science, May 1983, Volume 220, pages 671-680. This paper compares SA
to Lin and Kernighan.

Allels, Loci, and the Traveling Salesman Problem, Goldberg and Lingle
Probably in one of the Proceedings on GA.
