You can break it up geographically. Advertising is still very local.

Or you could break up search / browser / advertising / mobile; search and browser would need to invent other ways to monetize themselves.

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.
