Google prepares from future war between user-controlled searches systems

"A universal distributed search system allows users to find and distribute search results (possibly including advertisements) to those with whom they communicate. The search results can be easily distributed by the user via a simple interface that allows the search results to be easily added to the user's content. Search queries entered by the user or search results received from search components may be automatically refined by the system."

Maybe suggestions is only the beginning

It's AJAX Search API:

Yes Ionut, you're right

But I think this patent is more like wikia future search engine

Look who's back from vacation :)

Maybe, but the UDS is more like a way to integrate search results in other apps. Check the samples:
