# Instant and Deep

> Deep for any real design brief, Instant for quick lookups.

`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: quick lookups

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

* **Text on the page:** `contains: "Book a demo"`.
* **A named site:** "linear footer".
* **Browsing:** an empty `q`, optionally with `roles` or `sites`.
* **A kind of section** with no particular look in mind.

## Plans and limits

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

| | Pro | Studio |
| - | - | - |
| Price | \$20 a month | \$60 a month |
| Deep searches | 60 a month | 250 a month |
| Instant searches | 1,000 a month | 2,500 a month |
| Searches a minute, per agent | 30 | 120 |
| Sections viewed or read a day | 2,000 | 2,000 |

* Unused Deep credits expire with their month. [100 more Deep searches](https://www.regards.design/pricing) 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.
