In the long term, when there is a really large mass of data out there, with deep interconnections, then there is some really exciting work to be done on automatic algorithms to make multi-level searches.
And there still is. Some of my bets would be on semantic (ontology identification and interaction), multilingual/multicultural (IMHO huge), local-machine personalized, further processing integration (local or cloud: visualization / result manipulation / statistics / monitoring), reputation and other metric system integration for result entities.
There's technology to enable for most webapps (form processing), and search engines right there. And of course, "Gateways: JANET and DECnet for example" are a "Real need."
Really makes you wonder whether the priority decisions you made today will seem similarly ludicrous in 30 years.
