In this documentation: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java/search/options#sortoptions
It says that using the MatchScorer for scoring documents can be expensive in billable operations. However, I don't understand how if affects billing. From what I understand, the Search API is billed by the number of queries, regardless of how computationally intensive they are or how long they take. How does it affect billable operations?

Hello,
Scoring documents can be expensive in terms of billable operations and execution time, but it is not always the case. As it depends on the document and term you are searching. The reason of expensive is the extra processing in sorting the value as per the frequency of the search terms. If you turn off the match scoring then in that case, search will use the default order of the sort expression class which is descending.

Yes but how is it billed? I can't find any documentation on billing per resource usage for the search API.
