Been using the internet since inception, and now this forum is charging us just to use basic search, claiming goolge is charging fees to use search? I don’t understand, if there’s a simple search bar algorithm (aren’t there dozens like Bing or Yahoo or Duck Duck go etc) why there’s some issue with charging to use google for search? I’ve spent time reading and trying to understand this but … I just don’t. Can’t the web developer just put a search function on their website and be done with it? Isn’t this how the internet has always existed or have I never understood search to begin with?
thnx

If you’re using a Google product to enhance your site, you pay for it.
Usually for things like this there’s a threshold where it’s free or the cost is pennies, but Google has no obligation to let any and every site enhance their own site with a product that Google pays to develop, host and maintain, for free.
