Can Oracle prevent makers of Oracle products from coming up in the Google sidebar because they "own" the Oracle trade name? Can Microsoft make it so that vendors of Microsoft-related products can't come up when people search for the term "Microsoft?"

Well, in any case, you can not stop people from making recommendations  DonnieBoy | 02/06/05

Google does not sell the actual search results, adds are clearly marked  DonnieBoy | 02/06/05

I call a travel agent asking about a resort, and they recommend another  DonnieBoy | 02/06/05
No, it's not about free speech  Timothy (TRiG) | 07/07/09
