Holiday review site Trip Advisor has joined the swelling ranks of firms complaining to the European Commission about Google.
It joins travel firm Expedia and 11 others in accusing the search giant of abusing its dominant position, a claim being investigated by the commission.
EU commissioner Joaquin Almunia said a decision would be made after Easter over whether to formally charge Google.
Google denies claims of "anti-competitive and unfair practices".
