Scientific paper

The limitations of standard pulse searches in close binary systems are quantitively investigated. An efficiency factor gamma is introduced to describe the ease with which binary pulsars can be found, and the results of calculations of gamma as a function of pulsar spin period and binary orbital period are presented for both standard pulse searches and for searches using sophisticated acceleration codes. Two strategies are suggested which maximize the probability of finding pulsars in close binaries, and empirical relations between the optimum observation time and the parameters of a binary orbit are given.
