Our approach consists on a hypercube topology connecting the nodes and a scalable and self-configuring search procedure. The algorithm improves the probability of reaching the alive nodes in the Grid even in the presence of non-alive ones (inaccessible, crashed or heavy loaded nodes). In this paper, after the theory&rsquo;s description, we present some results obtained by running our search protocol on the GridSim simulator. We have evaluated 6 different metrics performing several resources searches and we show the arithmetic media for each measure.</span></p>
