No, because you're not redistributing it to third party.

The search results bascily aren't violations, since they usually are only
short quotes from the pages. Chached pages and pdf's transformed into html
are another issue. In my opinion Google also violates copyrights in these
cases, but don't trust me, search the web and see that this is a matter that
has been discussed a lot. Some say it's "fair use", some say it's violation.
Google has been in court more than once in this matter so it's not a simple
question.

Google isn't the authority, the copyright laws in each country are. You are
allowed to do what the copyright laws allow you to do.
