Google requires only a modicum of content before approving a site to show AdSense ads
Actually, Google already doesn't require any content at all before setting up an ad site if you use their AdSense for Domains service. This has been around for several years according to the FAQ, so I don't think a new search service is going to change much with respect to sites that do nothing but serve ads.
Everyone who is ready to flame Yahoo's "evil" practices should realize that Google does profits from typosquatting too, with their DomainPark service. How many legitimate websites are there that get more than 750,000 page views a month and are just "parked"? Yahoo may be doing something evil, but "do no evil" Google isn't innocent either.
