  TYPE
  	TYPE {Keyword}
  	1D line search algorithm to be used with the CG optimizer, in increasing order of robustness and cost.
  	This keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one keyword.
  	Default value: GOLD
  	List of valid keywords: 2PNT extrapolate based on 2 points 3PNT extrapolate based on on 3 points FIT perform 1D fit of a parabola on several evaluation of energy (very expensive and more robust vs numerical noise) GOLD perform 1D golden section search of the minimum (very expensive) NONE take fixed length steps
