For site-search, I recommend making it a much better value for money. Sites with 300 pages don't really require a search engine. Imagine people with 30,000-300,000 pages where 99% don't ever change (so don't need a re-crawl) and who get 10,000 total visitors a month. That's a wholly different point on the searches x crawl frequency x number of docs matrix that you can still serve profitably.
We've just increased it to 1000 pages, now. We'll see how that goes!
Thanks for the input! We're going at it by cost, which is heavier on crawling and storage than the search itself (though that also costs money, just much less). Crawling and allowing 30k pages indexed for 6 months for €30 sounds like a loss at a glance, but we're open to experimenting with that for someone who needs more pages and the same amount of searches. Just reach out!
