Salesforce.com and Google?

Everyone's heard the rumours by now about salesforce.com and google. Although some have surmised some sort of deeper "partnership", Mark Benioff appeared positively giddy at the salesforce.com developer's conference today.

All signals to me point to an out-and-out merger. Combine the largest infrastucture in the world (google) with a world-class applications development environment (Salesforce) with a large quantity of "the world's information" (salesforce) with aspirations to create a wholly scalable hosted database (google and Salesforce) and you open up a whole host of possibilities for both companies that neither could do quite as well on their own.

The question is - will salesforce's search functionality still suck?
