It might be a "net positive" in the short run, but it will move AOL down the road of no longer having any in house serach capability or development. Basically, Google will remove what could be a major competitor, and turn them into a traffic source instead.
I think that this would lead to less players developing search engine technology, and in the long run leave us all beholden to Brin's little world.
Not a good thing.
