The folks behind the SL Browser HUD think they have a better search than Second Life, how could they not, indexing 1.4 million products, but are currently only getting about 2000 searches per day. Second Life Insider has this to say about it,

But this isn’t about numbers … I’m excited about several features that surpass the searching capabilities available in the SL client. For one - you can search based on keywords and in your results you get the location and relevant object/keyword image (instead of the picture of a storefront). This helps narrow your search at-a-glance, without wasting time teleporting to tens of sites to find something close to what you have in mind. It even sports an “impulse buying” option through the “Public” search feature. If you have that box checked, your HUD will react to searches other people make using the browser. If you like what you’re hearing, go get your own here.

If you’re a business owner and wish to update your object description, simply change the object description and the Browser will automatically update in a week’s time. Felix is also working on creating tags for those who wish to have their objects stay un-indexed by his gadget. For the techies reading this, continue on to hear about how the browser works, pitfalls, etc. Source: SL Browser - In the Run for Being Second Life’s Google

Heck, if we just post about everything in Second Life on the web, making sure we had the appropriate Second Life URL’s, we can have Google index it, there are already some big websites selling the products, like SL Exchange, so lots of the stuff is already out there, but these guys are starting from the beginning, so it may be awhile before we have a search function that is really good.
