It's very possible, likely even - notice how there is no Google in your list.

I gave examples of sites they might use, plus using Google to find discounts and coupon sites was implied so please don't even try that tactic.

I think anti-trust action should have been activated automatically after Google (or any other search engine) exceeded 50% of the market

That's the same tripe trotted out against Microsoft and they didn't even sell hardware, they sold software and were being crucified as controlling the PC market.

What about all those Apple customers or Linux users?

In a free market it's all about CHOICE and Yahoo, Live and Ask all have competing products yet customers still CHOOSE GOOGLE.

If Yahoo, Live and Ask didn't exist and Google was the only option, I would say there was a case to be made.

Lots of examples where clearly dominant companies exist such as McDonald's dominates burgers, Coke dominates soda, Walmart dominates shopping, so on and so forth but like Google, they all have clear competitors in their field.

Consumers make the choice, you can't dominate without a superior product at a perfect price point.

You don't need legislation to break Google, you need innovation, the next best thing will knock them down a notch.

OK, where are all the innovators with the next best thing?
