Jetpack Search Product Billing

Pricing for Jetpack Search depends on which plan you have. Learn below how to determine the billing for your Search Plan.

Jetpack Pricing Structure

In November 2022, we updated our Search pricing structure to make it more affordable for smaller sites with lower traffic. Now you pay based on how many records Jetpack Search needs to index, and how many people perform search queries on your website.

In general, posts, pages, products, and custom post types count as records. Jetpack Search doesn’t count media library files unless they have their post status set to publish. Most attachments are indexed for free. 

Our tiers are 10k, 20k, 30k, and so on, with each tier proportional to its capacity. So the 20k tier costs the same as two 10k plans.
If you exceed your tier’s limit, whether in the number of records or monthly requests (whichever is higher), you’ll need to upgrade to a higher-tier plan.

Check your Search usage

Navigate to your Search Record Meter

You can access your Record Meter from WP Admin → Jetpack → Search.

Your Record Meter will show you how many records you have indexed, your subscription plan tier and allotted records, indexed post types, and any related errors for your Jetpack Search.

Keep Jetpack Search active

If you go over the limits for the Jetpack Search plan you have, you will get an email informing you that your next renewal charge will increase. You can take steps to reduce the number of records indexed before the renewal date. Or you can allow the auto-renewal to proceed as usual with the increased price.

If you are on the Jetpack Search free tier and you exceed your limit for three consecutive months without upgrading to a paid plan, Jetpack Search will be turned off and your site will default to the standard WordPress search, which is included in the core WordPress software.

Reduce the number of records we index

If you have particular post types on your site that you never want to count as a record and you don’t need other Jetpack features to work on that post type, then you can completely exclude it from being synced. You can add the following to a functionality plugin. Make sure to replace topic with the post type you want to exclude in the two lines highlighted below:

add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'filter_blacklisted_post_types' );

function filter_blacklisted_post_types() {

	if ( class_exists( '\Automattic\Jetpack\Sync\Settings' ) ) {

		// Get current blacklist
		$blacklist = \Automattic\Jetpack\Sync\Settings::get_setting('post_types_blacklist');

		//Check if the post type is in blacklist
		if ( ! in_array( 'topic', $blacklist ) ) {

			// Append post_type to blacklist
			$blacklist[] = 'topic';
			$settings = [
				'post_types_blacklist' => $blacklist
			];

			// Update settings

			\Automattic\Jetpack\Sync\Settings::update_settings( $settings );

		}
	}
}

It is not possible to exclude individual content from being indexed other than making it publicly inaccessible.
