When I say Google I do not automatically limit it to the search. Just as misleading to describe Amazon as the largest bookstore - not a false statement, but not all that Amazon is anymore.
By saying providing search for free "it isn't because of their desire not to be evil"
you are trying to imply that Google is evil? Nice try in pushing your evil agenda and still have deniability since you didn't say it outright. Two negatives don't make a right, and yada yada. The ads in Google Search are done so nicely and unobtrusive that it is no wonder they are the best in advertising. Compare that to all those ad-riddled webpages that require a higher skill level just to navigate around the ads.

My, that's quite a lot of smoke and bombast to cover the fact that there really is no response to the fact that Google makes their money selling user information to 3rd parties and presenting eye balls to ads.
