One don't have to worry about PageRank when one
own the search engine...
Google have said they're not going to push it but let queries reach
their natural level of pagerank depending on how useful they show
themselves to be to people in practice. Which would make sense -
Google is a popular search because it's good, and only as long as it's
good; giving an artificial boost to their own properties would risk
shooting themselves in the foot.
