Help with PicoSearch

What are the advantages of the Professional and Premium Plans over the Free Plan?

The PicoSearch Professional and Premium Paying plans are completely customizable, with no obligations to promote PicoSearch. They allow you to completely design the web pages that display the search results for your site. You get to design the look and feel of your search engine as much as you like, by using the PicoSearch easy templating tools. You can even manage the advertising space for yourself, so as to seamlessly integrate with the rest of your website's layout.

Paying accounts get full access to great professional features such as Scheduled Reindexing, Hit Highlighting, Spell Checking, User Synonyms, Date Sorting, Direct Searches, Partitions, Promotions, and Advanced Statistics; see more details in the Service Plans Features and Rates. To support more complex site designs, the purchased Plans also include the most powerful indexing and scope options, such as high page limits with an unlimited number of top-level indexer entry points (you'll learn more about these as you set up your account). The PicoSearch staff is also available to paying customers for special requests, such as selective indexing and super-large site needs; we are here to help you.
 
In contrast, we can offer PicoSearch Free for FREE by issuing popular defaults that help promote PicoSearch, along with lower (but still generous!) indexing limits. Search results are just as effective and powerful for Free customers as for the purchased Plans, the difference is in the PicoSearch rights to branding and possible future advertising, and the simpler feature which are lower maintenance for us and sufficient for generic internet use.
