Production quality:
- Hill climbing (= simple local search). Don't use this, add the tabu 
config line to get tabu search instead.
- tabu search (solution, move and/or property)
- simulated annealing
Very experimental:
- great deluge
Experimental on my fork:
- First fit (decreasing)
- Best fit (decreasing)

All kinds of (NP-complete) planning problems. Including your example in 
the next question.
TS and SA are - compared to other algorithms - relatively high 
problem-agnostic: they work any planning problem.

Read the manual.
Take a look at the examples.
