Simpler pricing for Site Search

Friday, November 12, 2010

Based on user feedback, we’ve simplified our pricing for Google Site Search, our hosted search offering for businesses and organizations that want Google-quality search on their sites without ads.

To date, we’ve charged for Google Site Search based on both the number of submitted search queries and the number of pages indexed. Our new pricing is based only on queries. It is much simpler and scales to accommodate the size of your organization.

A bonus -- as part of this change, we’ve doubled the allocation for On-Demand pages indexed per search engine.

For more details, please check our post on the Google Enterprise Blog.
