Coding agents prefer to do iterative search, I have yet to see them create a complex search script. They try different search cmds in parallel, evaluate their results and then refine or dive deeper.

This approach usually works great but I can see many use cases where a smarter search strategy may make sense especially to optimize context.

Wasn’t there work being done where a model could remove irrelevant context? Maybe these complex search scripts can help the model get the revenant files and then it can remove it.
