What's your opinion? Does google really "not work" anymore? Are there any better search engines? Why did the quality of search results go down? I honestly stumbled onto this question through this music video, what is ironic in it's own way i feel...

Idk, that might even be worse imo. I don't want to go back to the days of surprise bills like you'd get because you went over your alotted minutes/texts/GBs, or to have to think about whether or not a particular search is worth $.

    The typical surprise bill would still be a lot less than your monthly payment for the infinite searches option. You probably aren't going to unknowingly perform several thousand more searches than you normally do without noticing it.

    Anyway, your other option is to scroll through infinite ads trying to find the few actual search results.

    Pick your poison.

    You can set a price point you get a notification, and another price point where there's a hard cap. So I've started on the $5 a month plan which is 300 searches plus 1.5c per additional search. Then I set a $5 limit on the extra searches, so I'll never be billed more than $10.
