In the last couple of months I have noticed an increasing trend of supplying me search results that are completely unrelated to the current query and tie back to my location or previous searches. I can say this with a high degree of certainty this is without a doubt beyond the 100th instance this has happened.

My browser is configured against tracking and fingerprinting (in fact all my devices are) which would make it fairly difficult to retain any data unless they are profiling me.

Pricing seems a bit odd to me What happens if you don't spend all your searches? Does it carry over to next month?

Wouldn't it be better to pay as you go? Without the monthly requirements if they gonna have a limit anyway.
