The hits are charged to the user's account if you authenticate. If you don't provide authentication credentials then the hits are charged to your IP address. You are limited to 100 requests per a hour. This limit applies to all API endpoints that are rate limited. So calling a search every 15s will cause you to run out of requests pretty quick.
Hope that clears things up for you.
