Never mind ther search engine, how are you going to build the infrastructure?
Google has 15 datacenters in the US alone. 12 we know of, and another three under construction.

Quoting:
The conventional wisdom is that Google has dozens of data centers. We?re aware of at least 12 significant Google data center installations in the United States, with another three under construction. In Europe, Google is known to have equipment in at least five locations, with new data centers being built in two other venues.
Just to build one such facility will cost 300 million in construction costs (in the us), with the total value of the installation being above 1 billion dollars when operational.

He said that while newspaper reports placed the value of the center at $1 billion to $1.5 billion, he?s unsure where those figures came from. This first phase will cost $300 million and result in a 476,000 square-foot data center.
Add in employees and support and you need a minimum of 20 billion. give or take a few billion, for your project to work.
Your $600,000 will not pay for a month of bandwidth.
