There is a heated discussion about the necessity of the multisearch addon and the reasons and methods of its inclusion in the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1219501
Personally I think the add on should go away, and the sooner the better. It is unpleasant aesthetically, forces an unrequested and undesired web service onto the user's eyes, favors a single, commercial search engine and harms existing functionality (no more blank pages, no more I'm-feeling-lucky direct forwarding).
