Seeing fb at no 7 is interesting. I would love to have a search engine that is able to crawl and index fb, since the site has an extremely poor search, while having tons of seemingly 'public' data that is not properly indexed on any search engines. I always use fb as an example to explain the concept of the deep web: trying to access anything (including event announcements) on the site without logging in is a PiTA at best or impossible at worst.
I love the idea of a paid customizable search engine BUT I would never want my payment/identity tied to every search I make.
Absolutely, they are adding bitcoin support, so I will be using that an alias email.

Interesting to see the drops on Fridays and Saturdays.
I'd imagine that's because it's the weekend and most queries are related to work.
I wonder if this data could be fed into an algorithm to lead to better search results overall. I guess it could be easily abused but it appears whatever is current used to determine rankings (backlinks still?) is easily abused.
