greedy_search({ query: "React 19 changes", depth: "standard" });
Params: query (required), engine: all|perplexity|bing|google|gemini, depth: fast|standard|deep, fullAnswer, visible/alwaysVisible/headless: false
Depths:
fast: ~15-30s, single engine, no synthesisstandard: ~30-90s, all engines + Gemini synthesis + sourcesdeep: ~60-180s, stronger grounding + confidence metadataCaptcha/blocks: Headless by default. Bing/Perplexity auto-retry in visible mode when blocked. If human verification is needed, visible Chrome stays open — tell the user to solve it and rerun. Use visible: true proactively for repeated issues.
Pi commands: /greedy-visible, /greedy-status, /greedy-kill, /set-greedy-locale
CDP safety: Never call raw bin/cdp.mjs. Use bin/cdp-greedy.mjs, bin/cdp-visible.mjs, or bin/cdp-headless.mjs.
Old coding_task/deep_research folded into greedy_search. Use engine: "gemini" for one-off opinion, depth: "deep" for research.
