Brian,
If you cut page time from 4 seconds to 2 seconds, then it sounds like you cut performance time by 60% merely by letting Google do our searching! Way to go!!

And if Google found out about this, how happy will they be? If I found out that someone was using my resources to run their search facility, I'd either want to send them a nice big bill for that or purge them from my database

Oh yes, I'm sure they *hate* having more eyeballs see the advertisements in their search results.

But google searches on a single domain don't seem to trigger any advertisements - neither a serious search like "hundred years' war" or a likely ad-keyword such as "golf".

You're not looking very hard -- I see four ads with a search for "golf" and one for "hundred years' war". (Note though that the appearance of ads may vary from hit to hit.)
Anyway, I've gone ahead and signed us up for their Free WebSearch and SiteSearch, so it's all official and we get our logo at the top of the results page (ooooh!)

Well, yes, but don't they sell search-engine support to individual sites?

They do, and for that you get other goodies that we moochers don't get. http://www.google.com/services/
And for any doubters, this is NOT NOT NOT intended to be permanent or semi-permanent. It should be gotten rid of as soon as possible.
