What is optimization?

As per wikipedia, "Optimization (mathematics), trying to find maxima and minima of a function".

So as per my understanding optimization is basically a search problem/function. For me optimization is the process of searching the maxima or minima into the given n-dimensional space where search is driven by the constraints imposed by the problem definition and/or environment.
