  • EBay & EBay Express - Improved product searching
  • Amazon - Discounted products using A9
  • Newspapers - Local search engines like Miva will help the papers retain money from classified
  • Publishers - Copyright protection against Google Books
  • Telcos - The whole Net Neutrality debate
  • Porn - Copyright infringments with resizing & caching images
  • Startups - New niche search providers
  • Government - eg. The recent Child Protection Act case where Google had to hand over URLs & a list of queries
