This paper addresses the problem of searching for a randomly located target in a bounded known region by a single searcher. The searcher wishes to find the target's position, that is given by the value of the two independent double truncated random variables X; Y and they have joint symmetric probability density function fx; y. It is desired to search in an optimal manner to minimise the expected value of the time for detecting the target, assuming double truncated circular normal distributed estimates of its position.
