That's exactly what I am implying. Google effectively owns internet search, and as such they dictate what is on a website, how it is displayed, and who does business on the internet.

Interesting! If you don't mind me asking, why do you think so? I understand if you wish not to answer!
In my opinion, google has helped me in many searches, and whatever it wishes to do is fine with me. An extra program and feature doesn't affect me, because I can choose not to interact with it, but I do consider it a positive thing for those who do wish to use it!
Kind regards

I point to this: Google commanded 65% of market share in 2009 and have no real competition - searchenginewatch.com...

I don't think it is blaming Google insomuch as it is pointing to the fact that they dominate internet searches.
