DNS is also a search, it's just handled by a standardized, multiparty system instead of a single for-profit corporation.

Google also runs actual DNS servers at 8.8.8.8. Would it be ok for them to inject ads there as well?

OpenDNS actually does inject ads to its DNS servers (for NXDOMAIN). I wouldn't like it, but it would be ok.
