I don't mind google search. Let them have search, they're obviously the best at it.
I don't think that's a good idea, to let one company "have" search. Basically, you're letting a single company regulate discovery and information for a large chunk of the culture as a whole.
Why is a single company allowed to have control over essentially half the internet?
If that company has control of most of the discovery and monopolizes the information produced, they have one level upstream control of most of the Internet and the culture. It's like they don't just own the reservoir, but own a majority share in the river and most of the dams upstream.
