I was wondering the same thing. I’ve wished for just a big blob of the web to grep and regex through, but I don’t think this is that much easier than using duckduckgo or even google.

I've been working on grep.it.com. can currently grep over 200 TB of the internet

This is really neat. How much does it cost to use? I see that I can start for free, but couldn’t find anything in your docs about usage fees.

thanks. I'm still sorting out pricing. I don't have experience with B2B and am interested in empowering out-of-distribution people, so will likely maintain some free tier + congestion-based auction pricing for non-commercial use.
