I do mostly not too sophisticated web apps and binary search and minimum edit distance do come up regularly. I agree you don't have to remember the implementation details, but you have to know they exist and which problems they solve.

But that doesn't mean you need to be able to implement them though. Shouldn't having a high level knowledge about these problem be enough if all you are doing is building apps.
