Google actually has an incentive not to make search too good. That means less time looking through search results, seeing ads, and less time hopping between 5 different sites trying to find what you need, seeing ads on each one.
Ad networks are a plague.
This is sometimes ominously referred to as perverse incentive.
The total annihilation of the advertising industry is on my utopian wish list.
