The search giant\u2019s proposals included allowing flexibility for companies and consumers in choosing a search engine.<\/p>\n

Google said on Friday what it thought should change to address a ruling that it had illegally maintained a monopoly over online search: not much.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s proposal followed the landmark ruling in August<\/a> by Judge Amit P. Mehta of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, who said Google had illegally maintained a monopoly in online search by paying companies like Apple and Samsung to be the search engine that automatically appears when users open a web browser or a smartphone. In response, the government last month asked the judge to force Google to sell Chrome<\/a>, the world\u2019s most popular browser, among other remedies.<\/p>\n

In Google\u2019s own proposal to fix the search monopoly, it asked Judge Mehta to allow it to continue to pay other companies for its search engine to get prime placement. But it said those agreements should be less restrictive than in the past.<\/p>\n

Apple, for example, could select different search engines to come up automatically for iPhone and iPad users, said Lee-Anne Mulholland, the company\u2019s vice president of regulatory affairs, in a blog post. Cellphone makers using Google\u2019s popular operating system, Android, could also install multiple search engines and could install other Google apps without installing its search tool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t propose these changes lightly,\u201d she said. \u201cBut we believe that they fully address the court\u2019s findings, and do so without putting Americans\u2019 privacy and security at risk or harming America\u2019s global technology leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n

Google still plans to appeal Judge Mehta\u2019s ruling after he makes a decision on remedies sometime next year, Ms. Mulholland added.<\/p>\n
