Should this say 6.5? Yes we released to some customers in 6.4 but this broader release is for 6.5


## Best practices

- Give the agent a starting point for the search: Mention relevant repositories, files, directories, or symbol names. The more specific you are, the faster the search will be.
- Give the agent a starting point for the search: use @-mentions to mention relevant repositories, files, directories, or symbol names. The more specific you are, the faster the search will be.
- Provide reasonably scoped questions. The agent will perform much better if it does not have to read the entire codebase at once.
- Check the list of sources. This is extremely useful for debugging and understanding where the answer came from. If something is missing, ask a follow-up question and mention the missing source.

Since lots of people have gotten stumped on exhaustive use cases, let's provide a bullet point here about how Code Search still kicks ass with exhaustive use cases. CC: @mmanela

Copy: "For use cases where you're looking for exhaustive answers (eg. Find me all files which end with .XYZ file extension from within the X repo that contain the word CODE), Code Search still excels, which Deep Search will only utilize a sample of the results. Deep Search will perform a Code Search query as a source, which you can then use to continue with an exhaustive search within the Code Search product."
