The $5 a month tier is more than enough for me; I don't think I've gone over the 300 queries a month in almost a year, and I feel like I search a lot. Those couple of times I have, all it means is starting a new 30 day period a little early. It's painless.

Does this mean it's effectively $0.0167 per search, and you have to buy batches of 300 searches, but they have an expiration date?

Basically, yeah

I always go well over 300. I search everything

I definitley search a lot in that case; I tried it for a few months and I think I hit the 300 cap after three weeks each month.

300 searches is ten per day, they aren't that many. Most days I think I'd do less than that but then there are days that I'm looking for something specific and might do many times that.

It is definitely not something to use instead of bookmarks like most people use google.

Yeah, if you're hitting the search engine to bring up YouTube instead of going to the site or something, probably the $10 a month tier makes more sense.
