The Search Element will be limited to 50 domains maximum for site-specific search (free). Users needing more than 50 domains or full web search must transition to either Vertex AI Search or contact Google for a full web search solution.

The Custom Search JSON API users also need to migrate to alternative solutions. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
