So what is the difference of using this approach with exploring the set of inputs to find the optimal one using a search algorithm like A* or the many different ones?

I’ve been struggling to find where machine learning starts and what is just good old statistics (used in data mining for ages) and search algorithms like A*.

They serve the same purpose (optimisation). The advantage of ML is that you don't need to be able to define an objective function instead you just have a data set.
