I've also found it to be good at digging deep on things I'm curious about, but don't care enough to spend a lot of time on. As an example, I wanted to know how much sugar by weight is in a coffee syrup so I could make my own dupe. My searches were drowned out by marketing material, but ChatGPT found a datasheet with the info I wanted. I would've eventually found it too, but that's too much effort for an unimportant task.

However, the non-thinking search is total garbage. It searches once, and then gives up or hallucinates if the results don't work out. I asked it the same question, and it says that the information isn't publicly available.

Don’t sleep on Gemini Deep Research feature either. I use it for my car work and it beats ChatGPT’s offering at that price point every time.

I dunno, I use Deep Research from Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini, and Gemini is the only one that ignores my requests and always produces the most inane high school student wannabe management consultant "report" with introduction and restatement of the problem and background and all that. Its "voice" (the prose, I mean, not text to speech) is so irritating I've stopped using it.

The other ones will do the thing I want: search a bunch, digest the results, and give me a quick summary table or something.

I've found the same, but I also haven't gained much value out of "deep research" products as a whole. When I last tested them with topics I'm familiar with, I found the quality of research to be poor. These tools seem to spend their time searching for as much content as possible, then they dump it all into a report. I get better outcomes by extensively searching for a handful of top quality sources. Most of the time your question (or at least some subquestions) has already been answered by an expert, and you're better off using their work than sloppily recreating it.
