Recent changes made to Google's search engine have sparked controversy amongst some online retailers. When you search for retailers like Best Buy, the results are displayed with a secondary search box. Using this box, you are able to search for content within the relevant retailer.

This suggests that on-line retailers do not really want people to find them or buy from them, in which case what have they got to hide?... or are these on-line sites just being used as a vehicle to pour losses into and then making them all disappear at the tax payers expense.

Sorry about my cynicism but I just cannot see how retailers can complain about something that potentially benefits their on-line business

No, I think it suggests that they don't want to pay for multiple click throughs, when it would normally be one.

Ah so they want the exposure but don't want to pay for it....
Well it is obviously another way of making the big boys even bigger ;)
