Should I chalk up to conspiracy that this page is nearly impossible to find on, um, Google, searching terms that you would reasonably use to find it?
But if you have an in with MS, it would probably help an awful lot if they removed the old pages with broken links, unhelpful content, and possibly out of date inaccurate content too.
The page you link to has "coming soon" for pricing for Search (which was kind of confusing to find) -- does that mean that the pricing info on the page I found is not accurate, or soon won't be, with no indication on the page I found that that will be the case?
MS is really really bad at documenting this service. Only because it's MS am I willing to entertain that the quality of docs may not reflect the quality of service, generally I'd give up on something that markets and explains itself so poorly and figure that if they can't get that right, they probably didn't get the service right either.
