Deep Search goes GA, now with role-based permissions

Deep Search, now generally available in the 6.9 release, is an AI-powered code search tool designed for research and exploration, offering role-based permissions to enterprise teams for managing access. It allows users to query codebases using natural language, providing context-aware answers and links to relevant code within Sourcegraph. The tool's general availability marks its transition from research preview and introduces the ability for admins to define permissions for viewing and creating Deep Searches. While each user license includes three free Deep Searches per month, additional searches can be purchased. Deep Search aids in analyzing multiple repositories, accelerating debugging, and creating living documentation with Markdown-formatted summaries. It also supports collaboration and custom workflows through its API. Version 6.9 introduces platform upgrades such as a new server-side architecture, branch compatibility, enhanced usage tracking, and improved UX, enhancing the capabilities of Code Search for deeper visibility and control over code exploration and improvement.
