Compensate all these troubles to...
The search engine compensate the searching availability to the time needed for searching.
It s the first time I see compensate used in this way. I would try my own version to see if I understand the use.
Suppose someone asked you: Do you still think this project is viable? You say, I would compensate all these troubles and protests to the end benefits which all that matters.
(Sorry, some of my keyboard keys aren t working, missing apostrophe is result of this eccentricity.)
