Instant and Deep - regards.design

search_sections has two modes. Ask your agent for a deep search, or set mode: "deep"; Instant is the default.

Deep: for any real brief

Deep takes a closer look and puts the best first. Use it whenever the brief is about how something should look:

A look or a mood: “quiet and architectural, lots of white, one big serif headline”.
What to avoid: “a pricing table, not dark”, “a hero without a gradient”.
Lookalikes: “navigation like stripe.com, but playful”.
Several constraints at once: “a feature grid for a developer tool, uneven cards, one with a code sample, monochrome”.

A Deep search takes about a minute and uses one Deep credit.

The same search again on the same day uses no further credit.
A search that can’t finish isn’t charged.
With no credits left, it runs as Instant, and says so.
Clients that stop waiting before a minute get its first results; the same search again returns the rest. Claude Code waits for the whole answer.
Deep needs a description to work from: a search with only contains, an empty q, or like runs as Instant and counts as one.

Instant answers in seconds (up to about 10 for a brief it hasn’t seen before). Use it for:

Agents come with Pro and Studio, and share the plan with the site.

Unused Deep credits expire with their month. 100 more Deep searches cost $25, on any plan, and last a year.
view_section, get_section and page_sections use no search; each section they open counts toward the day’s sections.
Past the per-minute pace, a search answers with how many seconds to wait.
