The amount of variables for each specific search situation would be staggering (temperatures, pressures, humidity, weather, cause of death, animals, elements in the soil). I'm not an expert but I feel like all of these would effect how the body decomposes as well as the rate at which this happens. It would take a very well trained chemist to work this machine in a variety of settings. The specific programing behind this device sounds very complex.
