Searching for a needle in an infinite haystack (in finite time)

Abstract:
Say that a datatype T is searchable if there is an algorithm which takes a predicate P and finds an element of T satisfying P, if one exists. Obviously, finite datatypes are searchable, as we can simply test each element to see if it satisfies the predicate. But can an infinite datatype be searchable? The answer is yes! To understand when this happens we will uncover surpising connections between computation and topology.
