I don’t think this was about pricing, but about keeping occasional bits of literal spam out of the site search. The fact that we use the same search for both users looking for content, and authors adding stuff to Sequences, is a historical accident which makes for a few unfortunate edge cases.
Nah, it was definitely part of the set of constraints I made to reduce pricing like 5 years ago. I remember doing a bunch of things to drive the number of indexed documents down because there was a threshold where the price would double that I was trying to avoid. I did choose this filter because it seemed like it wouldn’t have a negative effect on search results.
