Not a fan of the changes otherwise. I average around 1100 searches per month which would require me to get the unlimited plan.

I don't like the changes either, but I don't think this is true. You could get the 1000 searches plan for $10 and then pay-per-search the additional 100 searches.

Fair, thank you for pointing that out. The idea of paying per query for a search engine seems so alien to me that I just skipped over this option.

Yes, it's really weird, and I think they're going to lose a lot of customers who have the same first impression as you, that they'll have to bump up to the too-expensive plan because they're a small amount over the limit on the cheaper plan.

That’s odd. It seems like the most natural thing ever to me.
