---- Pay per search model - why wouldn't it work?

I think there is a biz model there for Google, targeted at large corparations, the difficulty is how to differenciate it from the free service. The choices must be to either restrict the number of free searches from large corps [how many searches a day do you think are made from the MS group of companies, would it put MS at a competitive disadvantadge if they were unable to search G!?] or add enhanced options etc for normal users. I'd go for the large corps if it were me, throw in a few bones such as a "personal search advisor".

BTW - This is a *must* read [webmasterworld.com...]
