Brute-Force and Candidate Moves

Does anyone know how to use brute-force to come up with potential candidate moves?  I have been struggling to analyze a position and find the best move.  I don't find many forcing moves, just a bunch of passive moves.

I did that but I end up with a list of 2-4 moves how would I select the best move without analyzing?

If the candidate moves all work toward the same strategy (Q-side attack, eventually creating a secure 5th-rank N-outpost, etc.) then you have to consider which moves most increase the coordination/protection/threats among your pieces and reduce them for your opponents.  If the candidate moves result in tactical exchanges you have to estimate which one will result in the best material and/or positional gain.
