Searchify.com (I'm the founder), you pay per number of documents only. Not number of queries.

There are also free & open source options like Typesense: https://github.com/typesense/typesense
Elastic Search

And thousands of other ones made by hobbyists, but those are the mature (as in since the 90s) ones. For instance Craiglist uses Sphinx.

For a quick search engine it's hard to beat Sphinx. I especially love that you can just point it at a database and give it a query and it will just work.
