Global Search - Quota
Flare’s Global Search gives you direct access to our powerful intelligence datasets, helping you explore, investigate, and uncover insights for events not related to your configured identifiers.
To ensure the best possible performance for all users and to make usage more transparent, we have introduced a quota-based model.
This model helps maintain fair access across accounts, ensures system reliability, and provides clear visibility into your organization’s search activity.
The quota based-model represent both UI & API Searches.
⚙️ How the Global Search Quota Works
Your Global Search Quota defines the total number of searches your organization can perform each month — whether through the Global Search feature in Flare or via the API.
You can easily track your usage directly in the Flare Platform, either when opening Global Search or by visiting your Tenant Page and checking the Global Search Usage section.
- 1 Search = 1 Quota Unit. Every UI search or API search in Global Search consumes one search from your assigned quota.
- One search retrieves up to 100 events or credentials. Retrieving more than 100 results. Requesting more than 100 results (e.g., clicking “Fetch More”) counts as an additional search.
- 10-Minute Grace Window: Repeating the same search or adjusting filters within 10 minutes of the original query does not consume another search.This safeguard helps ensure smooth workflows without unnecessary usage.
💡 Why It Matters
The Global Search Quota is designed to:
- Ensure consistent performance for all users
- Provide transparency into how searches are used in both API & Flare Platform
- Support continued scalability of Flare’s intelligence platform
FAQ
Q: How identical search and filters work?
Executing an exactly identical search and adding filters within 10 minutes of the original search does not count towards the quota.
Q: What happens if I exceed my quota?
You’ll receive an in-platform notification when you’re approaching your quota limit. From there, your Customer Success Manager (CSM) will discuss with you for upgrade options.
