It is a bit. Just 1% of the market is about 90m queries a day, at $5CPM that's $13.5M a month. Google make about 10x that with their critical mass of advertisers.
The gist I get from Neeva is that they were unfocused, and flouncing between fads.
Haven't heard anything from or about Gigablast though.
The customer acquisition thing is definitely key. And convenience. I'd say to people, especially tech people- if they could donate 1 of 100 searches to another source, it'd promote some more competition. G have it pretty much wrapped up as the browser defaults etc.
