Its like “yeah we can do search…but what now”… and they pretty much seem like a deep pocketed lost puppy.

These guys are selling to us. Why would they benefit from saving us hundreds of computers worth of processing power? Though it IS incredible, I have to agree with you about them benefiting from the use of our data.
