ADVERTISEMENT The Web search leader filed a complaint with the NAF on May 11, claiming legal rights to Web addresses bearing a close resemblance to google.com, which it registered in late 1999. Sergey Gridasov, of St. Petersburg, Russia, registered googkle.com, ghoogle.com, gfoogle.com and gooigle.com between December 2000 and January 2001 through Computer Services Langenbach GmbH, which did business as Joker.com. He did not respond to charges levied against him. Because Gridasov failed to answer, the arbitrator was entitled to accept all reasonable allegations and inferences in the complaint from Google as true, unless the evidence was clearly contradictory. The NAF arbitrator, Paul Dorf, found that Gridasov did not have legitimate rights to the Web addresses, and the Web addresses were confusingly similar to Google's (NasdaqNM:GOOG - News) trademark rights to its own name. Further, the arbitrator found that Gridasov was using them in bad faith by presumably profiting from the use of domains.

Google Gains U.S. Market Share At MSN's Expense - Forbes.com

Google Gains U.S. Market Share At MSN's Expense - Forbes.com Google Gains U.S. Market Share At MSN's Expense 07.07.05, 10:31 AM ET Tear Sheet | Chart | News Bear Stearns said that according to comScore Networks U.S. search data for May showed that Google (nasdaq: GOOG - news - people ) gained market share at the expense of Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) unit MSN. The data show Google's share of U.S. searches rose to 37.5% in May from 36.5% in April. Bear Stearns said, "In our view, Google's share gain in the domestic market is a positive given the intensifying competitive landscape as new competitors emerge and existing competitors are expanding their search offerings. However, we caution investors not to rely heavily on two months of volume data to form an investment opinion for the quarter as other factors such as monetization (pricing) should be considered."

Make Search Engines Work for You

Make Search Engines Work for You Surfing the net continues to simplify. But, if you use search engines, there are some things you should know. Justin Osmer, a project manager for MSN, offers computer users a few key tips. ANCHOR LEAD: Looking online for an air conditioner but keep coming up with oxygen and hair products? Jon McNally has more. (:60) SCRIPT: Lifestyles, I’m Jon McNally. Surfing the net continues to simplify. But, if you use search engines, there are a few tips you should know. Justin Osmer is a project manager for MSN. Justin, do you have any tricks of the trade? CUT: (Osmer) If you put quotation marks around what you’re looking for, that’ll help you find it much more easily and will give you back a result that exactly matches that term. So for example, given the hot summer days these days, if you’re going for an air conditioner, you put quotation marks around air conditioner, you’ll get results back that say that exact phrase, rather than a bunch of results that may just be about air and a bunch that may be about conditioner. SCRIPT: Are there any innovations at MSN’s search engine? CUT: (Osmer) Well, something new that just launched this last week is the opportunity for a local search, and at MSN.com at the top of the search box there you’ll see a link to local search, and what local search does is provide you with local information that has addresses and phone numbers coupled with a map.
