The pricing page shows me $15/month for 800 searches. There's no way that pricing is going to work. Even setting aside the issue of getting people to pay that much, who is going to track their number of searches to make sure they don't go over the limit? And nobody that does 10 searches a day - which is about the limit if you don't want to think about this - is going to pay for a search engine.

This. I opened the pricing page and saw the 2 tiers and immediately closed it when $15/mo wouldn't get me unlimited. I'm not tracking search counts, I have no idea how frequently or how much I search, and ultimately I don't need an extra decision of "is this worth $0.018 to search for?" when I want to search for something. The concept sounds interesting but I'm not so confident in it being that much better that I'd accept that cost decision every time I search.

Unlimited would be different. $15/mo to search as much as I want, it's still insanely steep since I can get so much more for so much less on the internet but at least I wouldn't have to accept a per search cost decision.
