UPDATE 2: In case someone is interested, we have a developer Wiki article which has some instructions and sample code to integrate Gold with Google search.
It is still under consideration though. Hopefully, it will be possible. If we had more votes, that might influence the decision to add it.

UPDATE 1: We are still looking into this request. Unfortunately, it didn’t make it into the last version. It will require significant changes to the search queries which are already very complex.An error occurred while saving the comment Mike Stephenson commentedWhile google search is a great solution, it does cost money. Per year pricing is as follows:
queries/year cost
-------------------------
20,000 $100
50,000 $250
150,000 $750
500,000 $2,00020,000 queries is about 55/day, 500,000 queries is about 1400/day.
This is a great technical solution but it can be pricey. The upshot is you guys really need to implement a good site-wide search solution.

There is a tacit assumption that when you use a search box, you are searching the whole site. If I'm a customer, I might want to search refund policy or any number of non-product questions which are clearly not a product or category but is something vital to a customer.
