      "browse cloud search \"<query>\" --provider parallel --mode fast",
      "browse cloud search \"<query>\" --provider parallel --mode advanced",

    ],
    "gotchas": [
      "Version: 0.11.2",
      "query (required): Search query.",
      "--provider: Search provider: `parallel` or `exa`. Omit to use the API default.",
      "--mode: Search tier: `fast` or `advanced` (Parallel only). Omit to use the provider's default tier. The docs do not state whether mode and provider are mutually exclusive.",
      "Prerequisite: Provider and mode selection requires the Search API upgrade; the versioned source says it was unavailable until that upgrade was deployed."
