Rather ironic that someone has an advantage over Google for universal search.

Unlike Apple, Google isn't so keen on enforcing its patents. Do you really think Google doesn't have hundreds of search related patents that they could use against anything Apple does with search, including Siri?

Personally I prefer them not doing anything like that, though, because I'd like them to stay out of this vicious patent war circle. But it's a shame that means the war has to be one-sided. Apple and others can fire at them, but they can't fire back.
