It must bite into their revenue for the Google Search Appliance, though. Having said that, since ads are 99% of their business, I'm sure they're more than happy to cannibalize the other 1% if need be. The only problem I see with the concept is that Google.com's index (as opposed to Blogsearch.google.com's index) isn't usually very up to date on the contents of blogs. That's why I haven't, for the time being, used the "Google Search" widget on my blog. Google’s custom search engine is pretty neat.

I think these are really sweet ideas about which I intend to do nothing, but I would gleefully hit a tip jar if someone were to set up a canonical real estate search on its own domain or on a third.level.domain on an existing site. Make it integrable and I’ll integrate it with credit into my sidebar. All the big-boy tools (Technorati, blogsearch) kinda suck, so a mission-critical real estate info search tool is a solid win.
