Thanks for sharing, wasn't aware of this provider. If anyone is wondering about rate limits for the subscription:
>We calculate search rates based on the timestamps of the last searches of a user (just the timestamps, not the queries or anything else!). We keep those timestamps for 12 hours, then discard them. We currently limit searches to 5 per 5 seconds, 15 per minute, and 120 per hour.

In other words, good enough for casual use if you were already going to subscribe. Assuming the rate limits are okay, Uruky’s €5/month becomes cheaper at these search volumes:
1. Tavily Basic: 1,704 searches/month
2. Brave Search: 2,126 searches/month
3. Exa Fast / Auto: 2,233 searches/month
4. Exa Instant: 3,907 searches/month
5. DeepSeek Search: 7,503 searches/month
6. Ceramic: 22,507 searches/month
I ended up building an MCP that pulls results from multiple places and dedups it.
The free tiers on most are generous enough for normal agent MCP usage
Also...pretty sure decodo just launched a search thingie
One thing I see on the new gen of ai search bots are they fake chrome and rarely disclose themselves in UA, and not respect robots.txt, and no rate control for smaller sites.
I’m not accusing any one engine discussed in this thread, but hearing a proxy vender like decodo providing search give me a feeling there’s non zero over lap to bad search and residential proxy crawler.
Think the era of respecting stuff like robots.txt is over.
I build a web-fetch tool for my own LLMs that is essentially the same tech as web-scraping except its single requests not high volume.
You can't really get anywhere these days without disguising UA etc.
