Search agents could definitely be written which leverage Google search to find data. I'm currently working with PhpGedView sites directly because I anticipate some sort of feedback cycle: one where my work impacts the software that runs PGV sites so that they can automatically (or semi-automatically) link up together, creating a distributed network of genealogy in the process. Google search results would certainly bring in more data, but that data won't be as actionable in this respect. I hope to go down that avenue the future, however. Thanks for the tip!
