Its not the /only/ way, but is one way. Once GoogleBot has indexed your content and indexed it then you can search it using the AJAX (Local)Search API. (the bot might even find your KML and index it without a sitemap - if you link to in your content)
Alternatively you can index and search it yourself. If the data is relativly modest you could do this entriely in Javascript (bearing in mind all the data has to taverse to the client - but if you displaying it anyway) - you will probably need to break out a new KML parser other than GGeoXML Otherwise you can put it in some sort of database and index it serverside. Either custom, or something like featureserver might be able to help.
