From a human perspective, I suppose you could say that. Keep in mind though that that still means an infinite search space given that (human) language is either context-free or context-sensitive and therefore capable of generating an infinite number of valid statements. If you approach intelligence from a more general not-necessarily-human-like level you'd have to accommodate a much larger set of elements to search through. Think about those recent examples of AI Go players that apparently use approaches in their game tactics which often don't seem to make sense to human players. AGI thinking might indeed appear very alien to us.
