• Includes 10K search requests a month, 50K records, 5K recommendation requests and 5K crawls a month.
• If you go over quota the application is blocked until the next billing cycle or until you upgrade.
• Inactive free applications are suspended and later deleted. Running a few test searches every two months resets the timer.
• Search-as-you-type counts every keystroke as a search request, and so do empty queries and filter changes.
• Records are counted across all indices, including replicas.
