According to this article the Google folks are considering this concept. From the article, "Google is considering creating subscription versions of its popular search engine that could target academic and corporate clients, a source said Thursday. The Mountain View, Calif.-based company is evaluating new "vertical markets" as a means of increasing revenues, according to a source within the company. Among the considerations are new niche searches for periodicals, medical information or technology that Web surfers or companies would pay to use."
