I am new to CS so excuse my question if it seems very rudimentary.I just want to make sure I understand the terminology 100% correct as I go along. Is a search space the total amount of all the possible states that may lead up to a successful goal or is the search space only all the possible states reachable from the current state?
What exactly is a search space?

'search space' is indeed the set of all possible states.the set of all possible states reachable from the initial state are called 'successor functions'.are you teaching yourself?
