Deep search requires agents to answer complex questions through multi-step web search, browsing, evidence comparison, and synthesis. A central challenge is deciding how to search when several directions look plausible but only some will later lead to reliable evidence.
The paper investigates the use of test‑time search, specifically Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS), to improve agent performance in terminal‑based computer‑use environments. It finds that conventional MCTS does not significantly boost task success due to limited critic information and poor intermediate state evaluation. The authors propose a new strategy called Probe‑and‑Resume, where a critic is invoked only when the agent believes it has finished, and it is given read, write, and execute access to a forked copy of the environment to probe hidden state. This approach raises success rates by 8.4 percentage points over standard MCTS and nearly matches a more expensive Codex CLI agent.
