A suggestion is to make a google search plugin, integrated with the ad sharing plugin.
Search forms is replaced by google search and ofcourse the results are displayed in wordpress (not a separate window). Advertising is displayed just like with ad sharing. If the user doesn't fill in their own ad-code the sites ads will display. If the user does put in his ad-code there is a split just like with ad sharing.
It could be a great complement to ad sharing and an other way to make some money out of your wpms site.

Hiya!
I can see this as being really useful. I know the devs are working hard on a whole heap of stuff right now, so I don't know when they'd be able to take this on. The results of the recent survey are also going to map the development path for the next bit. Still, this is a nice idea and worth consideration. Thanks for the suggestion! :D

That may be against the Adsense ToS. While they don;t have a problem with displaying adverts on sites that you host for other people, I seem to recall they being rather upset with a wordpress plugin developer who included their own adsense codes in the plugin as the default. They may consider that to be the same thing.
