What counts against my monthly search entitlement?

The following API calls count as search requests and contribute to your monthly search utilization:

• All Search API requests made to the /select endpoint.
• All Search API requests made to the /emselect endpoint that execute a search query.
• Any request that triggers the Smart Answer /answer endpoint (this counts as an additional search request on top of the underlying search query).
• Changing facets, as this action triggers a new request to the /select endpoint.
