The linear search algorithm is a special case of the brute force search.
There no advantages to linear search other than searching for the first (or last) nodes. Linear search takes linear time with an average O(n/2) for each search.
There are 2 types of searcching in ds. 1>linear searching 2>binary searching
It is searching [for something] in a straight line.Perhaps you mean linear extrapolation? That is when the extrapolation assumes that the function is a straight line.
Linear : Traversal is linear .. ex: array,linked lists,stacks,queues NoN-linear: Traversal is not linear.. ex:trees,graphs imagine the situation of searching of particular element..in above scenarious..then u will understand easily..

"After searching their website, it does not appear that Linear Technology produces circuits. Their products include digital converters and transceivers."
No, the complexity of searching in a database is typically not logarithmic. It is often linear or even higher, depending on the specific search algorithm and the size of the database.
A tree doesn't do anything so it has no speed...
You can check out the Arrays.binarySearch group of methods for searching sorted arrays. There is no predefined linear search for arrays, probably because it is trivially easy to implement. If you have some other data structure to search, the Collections.binarySearch methods should work for you. Most collections can also be converted to a List representation, which has a predefined indexOf method for linear searching.
There are two types of searching technique used in data structure.such as linear and binary search.
What you're describing is called a sequential search or linear search.

If the data is sorted and every element is directly accessible, then you can perform binary search (see built-in function bsearch), otherwise you have to do linear search (which is slower).
