I'm having a hard time believing that is the case for "search." Cards and "google news" is another story.

As much as I dislike Google's practices, they are doing a service by indexing where websites are and allowing them to be found based on keywords.

I feel if I go to "google.com" and search for Google should show me links to so that I can visit the site directly. Any law that retards that is shooting Canadian news outlets in the foot.

Now if Google somehow finds what you're looking for and does not take me directly to the website and instead parses the site, presents the content, and shows its own ads, as opposed to ads hosted on , then yeah - google can go play in traffic.
