How would the search division make money? Serious question.

Search can still serve ads on their own pages (which Google calls "AdWords"), and (iirc) makes the most revenue for Google.

AdSense is serving ads on third-party websites, which is very different.

Does it need to? How large does it needs to be? Can it be treated as 'essential infrastructure'?
