Search service - pricing

[Oliver Billing]

I am currently in a need of a fast reliable geobased search function on pretty much static data. The search service seem perfect.

But since we are going live in a month and the search service is still experimental, and have no pricing. I am in serious doubt on what todo?

Hi Oliver,

Unfortunately, we don't have nothing to say for now except that we're trying to offer as competitive a price as possible.

I can not predict whether or not you will be comfortable with our price, however, if I were you, I'd go with the new search API.

Hello Takashi

I already have implemented it and compared to the datastore the search index is super fast. Currently I am paying 0,0012 cent pr lookup ( best plan). So if you can beat that it would be awsome.

0.0012 cent per look up makes 1.2 dollar for 1000 searches..
imagine you put 2 ad units from adsense, would this compensate for the
expenses for 1000 pageviews (impressions & clicks)?
unless it an e-commerce site, that pricing would kill search heavy
apps to be hosted at app engine.
i hope google will think about such calculations for cost of page..

Just to clarify...

The 0,0012 cent pr lookup is my current external service, and I am trying to replace it with the search service, which is hopefully cheaper. Its also in euro cent ;-)

[Andrei Volgin]

Just to clarify: for 1.2 euros you get 100,000 searches, not 1,000.

That sounds like a great rate.  I certainly wouldn't want to offer a search service at that price, so glad that others have enough scale to do it.  What's the external service name?
