I can't answer all your points, but in theory, you could probably
achieve what you're aiming for in (2) by making SearchEngine a factory
class which instantiates the other classes on demand. But you'd
probably do better with a different architecture.
My suggestion would be to use a call such as $this->SearchEngine-
>search('google', 'keywords');
Oh, and I'd be more inclined to make SearchEngine a component than a
model. Just a difference in opinion, but I think it'd make for simpler
usage.
