I remember the rumor that Apple was going to get into search back when altavista was a thing.

Apple is one of those companies that is seemingly “about to launch” a product in dozens of categories which aren’t their core competencies (Project Titan?). People fail to realize this is what these massive R&D budgets are for...not just the products you see, but the many many projects which don’t get approved. Apple shows impressive restraint in their endeavors. Search would be interesting, though perhaps unwise.
