Abstract
This paper shows that solving the optimal whereabouts search problem for a moving target is equivalent to solving a finite number of optimal detection problems for moving targets. This generalizes the result of Kadane (Kadane, J. B. 1971. Optimal whereabouts search. Opns. Res.19 894–904.) for stationary targets.
