Maybe some sites allow search engines to bypass paywalls so the full content gets indexed, and the plugin appears to be a whitelisted search engine to these sites?

A lot of sites just implement the paywall client-side with some JavaScript and CSS, so any kind of search indexer would still see the full text regardless of the user agent or source IP.
