How can they be a Monopoly?
There are least 5 search engines I can think of off the top of my head that I can use instead of Google. I prefer Google though and I use it first. If the result doesn't show up in the first few pages of my search with Google I goto to Yahoo then Ask then altavista and finally MSN. Then there is dogpile but it's not really a search engine as all it does it gather results from Google, MSN, Ask and Yahoo. Also there are tons of other smaller search engines that I don't use but that I know others use as I see them in the logfiles. So how can Google be a Monopoly when there is so much choice out there to choose from?

I can see how what Google did it problematic but every search site does that. That's why you have to check multiple search engines. Still if a competing site offers what I'm looking for an it comes up in Google but the other doesn't I can see that being a problem as I'm less likely to search other search engine sites for what I'm looking for it I already have one source and one could be all I need.
