Google started out with indexing and organizing publicly accessible data, and later added all kinds of tools to manage organizational and personal data. The main source of revenue is advertising.
WikiSuite can be seen as a FLOSS self-hosted alternative to Google Apps. So for most of the tools that Google offers to manage your organizational data (including personal data in the case of home/family use), WikiSuite has an alternative. However, WikiSuite is not in the game of indexing public data, although something like DuckDuckGo or YaCy could be added later on.
