Apple Building a Search Engine? Probably Not.

Google search integrated into spotlight?

Google is the king of searches. I'd see no reason for Apple to compete with the search engine giant - it is free to search. It wouldn't benefit anyone, unless Apple made profit on ads, which they avoid.

exactly. and see them go down the same road and yahoo and microsoft?! nope. google and apple have a great relationship, if anything, they just need to keep partnering on all their hardware, software everythings and they'll be good

There may be some truth in the rumor? After all, more rumors have surfaced in the last day or two that Apple may be considering a bid for Yahoo. So, maybe its that not Apple plan to build their own, more they plan add an existing one to their business portfolio.

Another option could be a Apple designed interface for Google when used in Mac OS or Safari. A "Apple Search - provided by Google" sort of thing.
