I’m too used to getting search for free, so asking me to pay for this service is something that I’m very reluctant to do even though I understand that there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

What I’m willing to contribute is my computing resources. If a search service wanted to use my machine for web crawling that would be something I’m willing to trade for an improved search experience.

I’m not sure how feasible this option is because it doesn’t pay salaries or cover server costs, but it does help alleviate some of the computing costs, I’d assume.
