This could be great. You need to monetize in a better way. Make searching free for everyone (cause no one is going to pay for it). Then, package up some pre-built searches (backlink search, competitor stuff, etc), build a special interface, and sell that to SEO's as a tool. This is just my first thought. You have data from over 140 MM pages. You can almost certainly use that data to make a product worth money to someone.

I just can't imagine selling searches will work. The big players in the space have made search into a human right. I know you have to make money somehow but charging for searches almost has to be the wrong answer.
