Basic users would know that searching was allowed but they couldn't access it. To be able to access it and have the thing return incorrect results because you haven't paid really ticks me off.

If this is in fact the result, than, of course, it's not correct. Assumption that we would have done something like that intentionnaly is not valid. :) First, I'd need to know with which PUTM account you discovered that. I'd need to check the default search options on that PUTM account to know if the criteria are exactly the same.
