Ceramic.ai is $0.25/1000 searches. I've been using it as an MCP in OpenCode and it seems adequate. I don't see many people talk about it, and I have not benchmarked it against Exa/Tavilly.

ceramic is very very bad, the worst search provider of all. it feels like it is doing only lexical matching and the index is very outdated
They explicitly are only doing lexical matching. I actually don’t mind this if it lowers the cost; LLMs can turn lexical search into a very powerful tool by iterating on the queries. Just look at the success of coding agents using grep and similar code search tools.
But it does seem like their index isn’t great.
