It's hard for me to make that an apt analogy. She's not well known as a portal to find websites, which is what Google had been for most of its existence.
It's pretty difficult to come up with a non-computer analogy for how Google works now. Pick a different space, and the power imbalance is quite clear. If they wanted, they could destroy StackExchange very quickly with these widgets.

Only if you are presuming they are going to make a question answering widget, too, since the content on stackexchange doesn't materialize out of thin air
