Search could still be funded by search advertising. It just wouldn't be combined with AdWords/DoubleClick/etc. Same idea for other products that have their own ads like GMail and YouTube.
Or you could break up search / browser / advertising / mobile; search and browser would need to invent other ways to monetize themselves.
