I would say no, just because the network propagation delays will account for a much more significant time slice than a search on a CPU. But I guess if everyone started to send 20 word searches we'd notice a difference. OTOH, a single word search could bring up thousands of search results, and would take longer to return, than a long search with maybe a couple hits.
