Yeah, I don't think you're going to be able to do what you're wanting with the database. The AJAX Search API is limited to searching publicly accessible resources (e.g., websites), not backend databases.
To answer your question about utilizing Google Maps in your offline application, I fear that the news there is bad again. While AJAX Search, libs, etc., have all had their TOU updated to allow for such use in offline or standalone applications, the Google Maps API outlaws it within the first real paragraph, limiting use to websites only. You might consider looking on the Maps API's issue tracker (it's a separate dev team, group, and issue tracker from the other AJAX APIs) to see if anyone else has made a request for that ability (and voting for it) or to add it yourself. The Maps API issue tracker is here: http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/list Jeremy R.
