Simply put no , Google is a brand name , verb (googling) , search engines services , ads service , community.
I dont mean that there whont be other similar market company or competitors , but none will have the same market clouth and size that Google currently as.
Just look at Ford , IBM , Microsoft , NASA. Those are titans people rember because they where "The Pionneer"

Anyone who say that they can surpass Google in search is a bit like Anakin Skywalker saying he rivals Yoda as a master Jedi.
There will be other Search engine but there will only be one Google.
