SearchCans gives an agent the four things it needs to reach the open web: live Google and Bing results, a reader that returns clean Markdown or HTML from any URL, extraction from PDFs and Office documents, and page screenshots. Parallel Lanes and Lane Stacking control concurrency.
Bundling these matters more than it sounds. A RAG pipeline typically stitches together a search API, a scraping service and a document parser from three vendors with three billing models and three failure modes, and most of the integration work is in the seams rather than the capability. Concurrency sold explicitly as lanes is also more honest than the rate limits you discover in production.
Free gives 100 credits with no card, then $18, $99, $597 and $1,680 for 20K to 3M credits, valid six months, with high-volume rates around $0.56 per 1,000 requests. Those headline prices are discounted from list, credits expiring after six months penalises irregular use, and scraping at scale carries terms-of-service questions the buyer owns.
