Search shouldn’t charge you three times for the same content.
Traditional hosted search can meter records, indexing and queries separately. Crawlie turns the crawl you already use into the index.

How does Crawlie build the search index?
From crawls you already run. Pick a monitored site, a single report or several properties together, scope it by route if you like, and the index is ready in seconds — then rebuilt automatically after every crawl. There is no separate indexing pipeline to write or babysit.
How much does Crawlie Search cost?
Search queries are free while in beta. At GA, plans include 10,000 to 1,000,000 monthly queries and extra searches cost $0.04 per 1,000. Cited answers include 100 to 50,000 monthly generations, then draw $1 per 1,000 from a prepaid, non-expiring AI wallet. There are never per-record or indexing fees.
How do I add search to my site?
Paste one script tag and you get a polished ⌘K search dialog with keyboard controls, dark mode and mobile handled. Prefer your own UI? Query the public JSON API directly.
How good are the results?
Exact and structured queries use a fast BM25 path with typo and phrase support. Natural-language questions can blend Vectorize semantic matches, learned click signals and Workers AI reranking. Every hit explains why it ranked, while pins, route boosts and hidden prefixes give you direct editorial control.
Can one search box cover several sites?
Yes. Merge multiple properties — say your marketing site, docs and help center — into one corpus, or scope an index to just /docs/. Search analytics then show top queries and the searches that returned nothing: your next content brief.
