We investigate active learning with access to two distinct oracles: Label
(which is standard) and Search (which is not). The Search oracle models the
situation where a human searches a database to seed or counterexample an
existing solution. Search is stronger than Label while being natural to
implement in many situations. We show that an algorithm using both oracles can
provide exponentially large problem-dependent improvements over Label alone.
