If the recent woes of the music industry have taught us anything, it's that the easier it becomes to perform a service, the less people are willing to pay for it. If the computational resources for "deep" searching are drastically reduced, more and more people will jump in the game. Not saying it's a bad thing, the users will benefit, but such deep search would be an extremely disruptive technology. If Google is looking to go that route they're going to have to leverage it to make something even better if they want to make money off of it.
