Google Search API Without the Limits
Frustrated with Google CSE's 100/day limit and missing search types? Searlo delivers full search results with no daily caps.
Google CSE Limitations
The Google Custom Search API has significant limitations that hold back developers.
100 Free Queries/Day
Google CSE limits you to just 100 free queries daily. That's gone by mid-morning for most apps.
No Image, News, or Shopping Search
Google CSE is limited to basic web results. No dedicated image, news, or shopping search endpoints.
Complex Setup
You need to create a Custom Search Engine, configure it, get API keys from Google Cloud Console...
$5 per 1,000 Queries
At scale, Google CSE costs significantly more than alternatives like Searlo.
