Really the search engine is what they're going after google for? not the whole web integrity thing thats pretty much a coup that would make google the ultimate gatekeepers of all browsers, browser addons and privacy in general?
Give them some time, they probably only recently heard about this newfangled search engine called Google.
If I was to guess I'd say it's the only way they can do anything meaningful. If the goal is to curb google's monopoly on the internet it would be neat to break it down and apparently search was a case that can be credibly pursued on antitrust grounds. Web integroty hasn't yet reached its intended scope, even if everyone with minimal knowledge know where it's going, "everyone sees the writing on the wall" is not a valid ground for legal persecution.
