There's a much smarter way to search in the works. Actually it's already here and it's called WolframAlpha. Type something in and instead of giving you a long list of related websites a la Google, it gives you actual answers. Using contextual algorithms instead of general keyword and link-based algorithms, it doesn't just point you in the right direction, it can tell you what you want to know.
I'm not sure Wolfram will ever become a verb, but I do believe this more fascinating and relevant type of search will start eating some of Google's lunch.
