This paper examines the nature of three well-known but distinct discovery engines: Inductive discovery (ID), Inference to the best explanation (IBE) and Abductive discovery (AD). Any discovery process requires modifications in the background knowledge: these belief revisions take place in four different dimensions. The three discovery engines will be compared with respect to these dimensions. Special attention will paid to (AD) since it constitutes the most troublesome of the three.
