As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Enterprise drives usually ship with double the flash it actually needs
to provide the capacity, plus the are SLC which can sustain around
100'000 erase/write cycles. Also, the controller dynamically remaps
sectors to provide even write distribution.
While this is still a new technology, it's nowhere near as bad as
you're trying to make it sound.
On desktops, you usually have rather few write workloads. Usually, you
will reach around 5-10GB of writes per day - which is why MLC SSD are
perfectly okay for desktops.
