I've been using this search engine and I have to say I'm absolutely in love with it.

Search results are great, Google level even. Can't tell you how happy I am after trying multiple privacy oriented engines and always feeling underwhelmed with them.

Have you tried it? What are your thoughts on it?

Maybe I am not average but I blow past 300 pretty easily. I also think you may underestimating how much people search on their phones.

Same here. I tried on the starter plan but had to upgrade. According to my account I have made 802 searches since January 4th. So 17.4 searches a day on average. This means that for a 31 day month I am looking at 620 searches.

I am also a heavy user of bookmarks and browser history. So I don't rely on search to open specific sites (like searching for "facebook" which is one of Google's most popular queries). So someone who is in the habit of using search for direct navigation is probably going to be a good chunk higher.

That being said I work on the computer and do a fair number of searches for my job. So I can believe that a light user is pretty comfortable at 300 searches a month. But moderate searches or people who use the search engine for navigation will need the unlimited plan.

I just checked and performed more than 300 search queries in the past 4 days.
