In Maemo 4, there was a Desktop Search Applet included by default. Here is how it worked to add more search engines: you just have to add your own .xml in a certain folder (/usr/share/mis) and add a icon to (\usr\share\icons\hicolor\scalable)
Code:
<search name="ebay"
	icon="/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/mis_ebay.png"
	action="http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll"
	user-input="query">
	<input name="MfcISAPICommand" value="GetResult"/>
	<input name="ht" value="1"/>
	<input name="ebaytag1" value="ebayreg"/>
	<input name="srchdesc" value="n"/>
</search>
I suggest you add something very similar (however, please use a folder in /opt :-)
And for the Google Maps search: Could you include my maeMaps version instead of the default Google Maps site? Is much handier on the N900 :-) Here you have an example link/query
