I know this one is already in other messages (and also in the Glossary), but I still find it iffy and I might finally have a better idea:

  Sie sind gerade an einer binären Suche in Zweig '%s'.

[note to English speakers: I'm just using "binary search" instead of "bisect"]

That makes it quite a bit harder to use it in a verbed[1] form, but I think it gets the concept across much better. (And in all the usage I know in CS, the two things refer to the same.)

ACK on the rest.
