Let me add to the obvious conventional non-functional tests, this functional test:  Verifying page rank by convention and by popularity using keyword and keyphrases.  Doing this for text, images, and videos.

Test cases would be based on the requirement documents. Based on the requirements we would be able to create the functional test cases, User Interface test cases, Messages etc.  For eg. the types of test cases would be

1) Is the main textbox where we enter the search data is working correctly, as in can it take alphabets, numbers etc

2) Are the buttons and the textlinks that are displayed working correctly

3) Once you type anything in the search textbox,how long does it take to refresh the page and come up with a result

4) Once you type in the search textbox,how many search results is it bringing up based on the data entered

5) Is it going correclty to the next page,if the functionality is supposed to do that.

Then based on the above list we can do different types of testings like Boundary Value analysis or Equivalence partitioning etc.
