Cannot tell by the code you have posted but it sounds like you put an
[elsif] statement block outside the [if] statement block

[/if]
[elsif cgi db eq "google"]

should be

   [/then]
[elsif cgi db eq "google"]
   [then]
     [bounce href="http://www.google.com/?query=[cgi mv_searchspec]"]
   [/then]
[/elsif]
[else]

[/else]
[/if]
