I didn't even know Bing Search API let you just query it. IMO they should have done more evangalism before starting to charge. Has someone used this to re-create the classic Google search experience that Google has shit all over recently? On a different note, it seems both Google and Microsoft are in a battle to first commoditize the other's core product and then start charging. Google's getting more aggressive with charging for Apps. And now Microsoft with the index.
