    Implementation of the simulated annealing algorithm. We start with a given state,
    find all its neighbors. Pick a random neighbor, if that neighbor improves the
    solution, we move in that direction, if that neighbor does not improve the solution,
    we generate a random real number between 0 and 1, if the number is within a certain
    range (calculated using temperature) we move in that direction, else we pick
    another neighbor randomly and repeat the process.

    Args:
        search_prob: The search state at the start.
        find_max: If True, the algorithm should find the minimum else the minimum.
        max_x, min_x, max_y, min_y: the maximum and minimum bounds of x and y.
        visualization: If True, a matplotlib graph is displayed.
        start_temperate: the initial temperate of the system when the program starts.
        rate_of_decrease: the rate at which the temperate decreases in each iteration.
        threshold_temp: the threshold temperature below which we end the search
    Returns a search state having the maximum (or minimum) score.
