The query cost is in addition to tokens used. It is unclear if the tokens ingested from the search query count as addititional input tokens.
> Web search is available on the Anthropic API for $10 per 1,000 searches, plus standard token costs for search-generated content.
> Each web search counts as one use, regardless of the number of results returned. If an error occurs during web search, the web search will not be billed.
