Does Siri make Apple getting into search inevitable?

I use Siri every day, but usually when there's nobody else around. On a cold day I can keep my phone in my pocket, toggle Siri via the headphone mic switch, and use it to make phone calls, enter reminders, ask it to read my messages, and occasionally ask about the weather. I would use it more, but the Map function doesn't work in Japan yet. It's also not good with Japanese words.

I read articles last week that said Siri seems to have doubled dataplan usage.  Once again, it appears thecore doesn't represent the typical consumer.
